confused about what kind of exercise i can do at home?

hello.. i didn't really know how to title this post because i know there are at home exercises and youtube videos online, but i'm more so concerned about what i should be doing to help lose a few pounds as a not very active person.

backstory, i'm a 16 year old girl, 5'4 and i weigh 150lbs and i want to lose like 40 pounds. i've been struggling with how active i should be and what exercises i should be doing. i don't want to go to the gym right now (and i don't have a job so i can't pay off a gym membership), i get so much anxiety being out alone, and my mom and i were doing daily walks/runs but that quickly stopped because she's so busy and we can't control the weather and her schedule. i'm actually looking for a job since i am not in school (which means i am not active at all and stay home) and i really want to buy an exercise bike. we used to have a small gym in our garage and i loved using our exercise bike, so i really miss it because we don't have it anymore. once i buy this bike, i won't have to worry about what keeps consuming me everyday:

i don't know what exercises to do? that sounds so silly to say but i'm so confused. i've been doing 10 minute workouts and 30 minute workouts at home that are cardio based, to make your butt 'bigger' and toned, upper body and lower body and exercises that target everything but i feel like nothing is working for weightloss. to be clear, i just want to lose weight, i don't want a big butt or a small waist, or a runner's body but i feel like at home workouts are more targeted for 'sculpting a body' and i don't want that. i just want all round weight loss, for my face to appear slimmer, my arms to shrink down a bit, my thighs to be smaller and i definitely do not want a big butt. i've been doing those big butt workouts because i want my butt and thighs to be toned but i've stopped that because again, don't care for a big butt. i don't really like hiit because i can't keep up and when i can't do an exercise i give up. i like doing things that don't kill me but still make me feel sore and like they're working.

if anyone could give me advice on what exercises i should be doing to help weightloss at home? i'm not interested in going for walks, runs and going to the gym. also, i'm trying to eat 1200 calories a day and i wonder if i should lower that because i'm not active? even though i did use a calorie counter and myfitnesspal (stating that i am sedentary) to determine that.
