What is a good gym routine for me?

I was 200lbs but I recently lost 15lbs by changing my eating habits.

I started going to the gym a couple weeks ago and I have gone every day.

My routine now includes running 1mile, using an abs, arms and leg machine and doing three sets of ten or fifteen on each.

My problem is I don't really know what should be in a workout. I want to focus on my stomach/abs, my legs, my lower back and underneath my arms.

What should my workout be? Also, how often and how much should I build my workout up?

Any advice is appreciated!
 
All depends on your goals. With fat loss you want to not do so many reps. Many times women have this fear that they are going to look like a bodybuilder and really bulky, that will not happen as you do not have the hormones to do that. Adding some muscle mass makes your body burn more calories throughout the day. So do not focus on only weight loss.
You want to split up your body parts on different days. a 5 day split is good. chest triceps, quads and hamstrings, back and biceps, calves, abs and forearms, shoulders. Focus on those different body parts during a week.
For your cardio 1 mile is good, but try doing 16 minutes of intense cardio getting farther every day.
