Don't need any advice or help with it, got a proven routine.

With a majority of the exercises, I make sure to go slow and squeeze the muscle(s) being worked as I was advised. Wrapping up my second week of consistently going to the gym, definitely feeling good but I need to make sure shyt is as efficient as possible. Daps and reps to anyone that can critique and help me perfect this shyt .

Wrapping up my second week of consistently going to the gym

Could be a false interpretation from my side, but If you only started working out 2 weeks ago you dont need a split yet and should do a full body workout. If Im wrong you can ignore that.
As for the routine itself: I actually made the best progress by splitting

Legs/Abs
Chest/Biceps/Triceps
Back/Shoulders

but thats just my opinion

Throughout this past year i've been real on/off with the gym, even though i'm not in shape (especially to my standards), i'm still in decent enough shape to handle splitting. I just want to make sure the actually exercises i'm doing, the amount of sets and reps, the amount of cardio im doing is working to put me in the best shape possible.

You will make gains faster hitting everything more times a week

I agree with moving to either a full body or upper/lower split.... better to only do one exercise per body part 2-4x/week than blast everything in one day and wait a week. You grow off of stimulus and rest

Noted. Any balanced full body routines you have access to?

I like Layne Norton's PHAT

But honestly, I would just try to figure out a way to do each of the following for 3x10 2-4x/week, doing your weak parts more and your strong parts less:

Squat
Deadlift
Upper body push (flat bench, dips, whatever)
Upper body pull (cable pulldowns, cable rows)
Bicep movement
Tricep movement
Lateral raises

Hell, just doing all those 2x a week spread out over 3-4 days will be good. Eat enough, sleep right, add weight to the bar, practice good form, the gains will be guaranteed
