Literally almost any working camera will be fine, just pick one you like and have at it. As a beginner your photos aren't going to be amazing, so you won't gain much from some crazy expensive/fancy camera, nor do you even know if you'll like working with film.
You don't even need a light meter really (though they are very helpful), basic rules like sunny-16 will go along way and will help teach you how to judge exposure.
1950-60s rangefinders can be a fun place to start. They've got everything you need, nothing you don't, are full mechanical, and often very cheap.
The most important thing is to get out, learn how film behaves and to learn how to take good photos. Don't get caught in the trap a lot of beginners do worrying about gear to the point they focus on that more than actually using it.
