Welcome to the forum

if you have been logging your calories before you should have a good ide of what your eating without logging your food now.

To build muscle you are going to want access to a selection of weights, either Dumbells or barbell but for home dumbells are usually easier.

You need to be working in the 8-10 rep range for building muscle with weight that is around 70-80 % of your 1 rep max. 20 reps will help with endurance but not so much for building muscle.

I have to go out now but I will write up a beginner list of exercises you can do when I get back later and link to video of how to do them.
