Philosophy covers a lot of ground. It's been built up over millennia. It'll be useful to get an overview first. This will help you piece things together and understand what goes where and why.
To get an overview, you could read a general introduction or you could read excerpts from the big names in a few of the big trends. Or maybe articles on main themes and trends โ SEP is good for that and another comrade had provided a link, although it might be hard to know where to start.
Alternatively, if you prefer videos, I could suggest some lectures.
Later, you can dive deeper into whichever philosophy/ers you enjoy most.
What do you know about philosophy so far? If you think 'nothing', what do you expect to find by learning more? If you can answer that, no matter how vague (to start with), I or others may be able to give you some more direction.
