I have some questions as well but I'm coming from the other end of the spectrum than the OP.
I have never worked out in my life but always played a ton of sports up until 8 years ago; I am 33.
I am 6'4" and 260lbs. I am naturally built with a larger frame, I'm not a skinny guy with a huge gut. I work a desk job and so I'm not out there building muscle busting my butt, so no idea why I have more muscle than other people.
I have strong tree trunk legs, as previously mentioned never worked out, just born that way. I carry the weight all over and if you looked at me you would never know I weigh that much. I'm just average but larger...not sure how else to explain it.
Anyway, I don't think it would be difficult for me turn all of this into more or larger muscle but I have no idea how or where to start. I don't have any friends here that work out and I feel awkward even thinking about walking into a gym.
Is there any way to do this from home and what kind of a plan would I need to look like Chris Hemsworth from Thor? Well I mean apart from the reconstructive face surgery. We'll call it a gift for my wife.

you need to just research, get to the gym and start talking to guys that look like they know their stuff. you are a big dude so you may want to hit the cardio fairly hard but make sure you are also lifting lots. squats, deadlifts, cleans, etc. do full body lifts that target many muscle groups will really help you.
dont workout from home, youll be less motivated and have less equipment available. get to a gym, meet some new people, make new friends and lift heavy.
disregard skinnies, acquire aesthetics.
