I am a non-overweight but have a lot of fat. I heard that before you start body building, I should lose all of those first.
So what kind of routine show I go through for starters?
I am clueless to these gym stuff, but hopefully learning more soon.

Keep the fat on, then body build.

No. If you're planning on becoming big, you need to eat a lot of food anyway.

If your work is going to consist of trying to build muscle mass, they are saying you need that fat. High weight low repetition lifting will force your body to burn that excess fat by turning into energy as well as muscle.
If you want to tone up and have definition, you will need to do low weight high reps. This will also burn the fat faster and convert it to muscle without the muscle mass of heavy weight lifting.
I suggest you add a cardio routine as well. Cardio tends to build your vascular system and aids in boosting metabolism. If you aren't looking to bulk up you will need to watch your food intake.
Read up on what type of diet you should be on for what you wish to accomplish.

I see.
I'm aiming to slim down first. I have a waist of 30-31". How do I know if I'm ready to make muscle mass?
I wouldn't want to end up looking like a mini bouncer.

just do C25K if you want cardio, you'll shit at how fast your distance climbs

just get good shoes / socks or you will soon regret it once you start getting into the miles.

I see, so the gym is just really suitable for body building. Thanks for your inputs. That C25K is really interesting. I'm looking at at right now. Thanks, never knew it existed.

I really must thank you for this also.
By the way, fat does not get converted to muscle when you exercise. They are different tissues.

| Any intense cardiology exercises are good to help reduce and tone out your body.

No. Scooby is some 50 year old man who took 20 years to get a "good" physique. Whilst his advice is sound in some parts, it's basically trash if you actually have a gym membership. It's home workout advice.
An hour of basketball instead of 4 sets of Squats? Lmao.
Skateboard squats? Lmao.

Try to start with introductory routines like a Top/Bottom split for 6-8 weeks. After that, move to a 3 day split, focusing on core muscle groups with isolation exercises. If you make it past that, incorporate compound movements such as Bench Press, Squatting and Deadlifts in a 4 day split to pile on the muscle mass.
