22 BMI here,
18.6% body fat, if the dodgey old scales are to be believed, which maybe they aren't as they had my hydration pretty low (I had 56% water content of someone above 50s and I'm not quite that old yet).
That basically says I'm in the healthy range, but maybe could do a bit more muscle mass? I've not studied fitness for a long time, any advice? I know we got some fitness freaks on the forum, even if a lot of them sound like bodybuilding baloon men.

You can go the Physical Therapist rout if you have insurance. A lot of them basically just turn into personal trainers.
Your best bet is a credible personal trainer or some kind of exercise class. Yoga might add some muscle mass if you want to avoid barbells. But muscles are best developed with barbells IMO. But you need someone to make sure your form is good.
In the meantime Id just get comfortable with the squat motion because it seems most people that aren't active need to work on it.
