make sure to prioritize recovery - especially if you are looking to gain muscle. mass is gained when muscles have an adequate amount of time to rebuild themselves. dont skimp on your carbs, either, massive energy source.

Starting out after a long break from the gym. Any recommended amount of time for recovery?

prioritizing muscle growth, and given a long break from lifting, I'd say 48 hours per muscle group conservatively.

i am absolutely not an expert, but i have found Mike Mentzer's approach to be feasible and has been showing results (been at it for like ~2 months)

Yeh that makes sense. My only issue with YouTubers and body builders is they are on steroids 90% of the time.
