Home workouts can be effective. Building muscle (usually) necessitates tearing up your muscle fibers through anaerobic exercise. But that means lifting weights and doing it with good form. At home, you'll have limited options, but exercise bands and adjustable dumbbells can be effective, if a bit repetitive. I'd suggest a 3x weekly home workout with one additional session with a trainer in a gym. That'll make sure you're making progress and not hurting yourself, and it as variety. Eating enough is likely going to be the bigger challenge. Happy to provide supplement recs, but even a meal replacement like Soylent will do fine. You'll want to calculate out your macronutrient requirements to figure out what you should be consuming. A trainer can help with that.
