Congrats on taking the first step to a new you.

Sounds like a Bow Flex commercial..

Well, right off the bat I'd say that you shouldn't be worried about mass. Even if you did gain some muscle mass, it really wouldn't show according to your description of a beer belly and double chin.
Second, I understand that being a newbie essentially means that anything can work training wise for mass gain. However, I think you'd be a lot better served doing three full body workouts vs. trying to do a split like a few pro's (not many) prefer..
I would say it's easier for you to stick to something like this:
Monday: Full body weight training
Tuesday: Cardio
Wednesday: Full body
Thursday: Cardio
Friday: Full body
Saturday: Cardio
Sunday: Complete rest

Schedule:
5:30am- wake, eat something (need help here)

Okay, I would say that you should wake up at 5 AM in order to eat and prepare for the gym (if you can). Waking up and lifting within a half hour of each other will definately hamper your strength and motivation. If you get up 30 minutes earlier at 5, it'll allow your body to digest the small meal you ate to provide you with more energy. I would suggest eating some instant oatmeal or a banana, and a scoop of protein at least..
