The following is my routine:
Dumbbell press 3 sets of 8 (3x8 hereon) (shoulders)
Dumbbell Rows 3x10 (Upper Back)
Dumbbell Curls 3x12 (Biceps)
Dumbbell Tricep extension 3x8 (Triceps)
Dumbbell Squats 3x12 (Legs, Butt)
Dumbbell Flyes 3x12 (Chest)
Dumbbell Shrugs 3x10 (Upper Back)
Hammer Curls 3x10 (Forearms, Biceps)
I do all these things along with 25 minutes treadmill after I finish
the above routine,6 days per week.
My doubt is how many reps and sets should I be doing?
How to know the correct weight to lift(I am afraid of both extremes-either low weight or overweight,so need optimal weight)?
My aim is to get a body like models and not bulking.I am 28 years male-5"7-150 pounds-only have belly and not plump-and i also do abs 3 days/week.
Thank you in advance.

I would be concerned that you have nothing here for abs and that is your area you need to work on according to your question. I know that More reps of light weights is best for toning and not bulking but too many reps and you lose effectiveness. A weight trainer told me to do 2x12 on everything and when possible to come back and do it again a second time. (once in the morning then again that evening.) Hope it helps.

u seem to know ur stuff and u will do well if u dont give up always remeber not to do to much anything over 45 mins and u will lose muscle tone. To lose fat u must do cardio like treadmill exercise bike jogging on the spot u must eat health and drink plenty of water walking dancing and swimming are good for all round body toning good luck and well done for looking after urself most people dont bother these days but i feel its important for ur own self worth and happiness

lol from my perspective i think that u should put the matiels on the floor and lift them one at a time and you tell your self is it too heavy or not then tryo working out with the perfect ones until u get to the point when u are tired and keep up your chin and dont strain your self good luck

Most gyms offer free personal training sessions upon joining. I think your best bet is to take the free session and your trainer will help you to work out a schedule that will help you meet your goals.
