Start with easy stuff you would do in gym class. Sit-ups (and/or crunches), push-ups, and lunges. Mix that with some cardio (walking, jogging, or running) and it's a good start. Remember to start out easy because you will want to be consistent in a routine. As things begin to feel easy add more reps to your sit-ups and push-ups or more time to your cardio. If you do decide to venture to a gym, get a personal trainer for a few weeks to show you how to use equipment properly.

Nah, it's never too early to start!
On non gym days, you can do things like biking, walking or running, swimming, hiking or snowshoeing, skiing. If you can only get to the gym so often during the week, use that time for weights and other resistance training and limit the cardio. You shouldn't work out weights every day anyway so it sounds like you could be on the right track.
Between the weights and cardio, you should have no problem being a smoldering hottie by summer.
