Start with full body, its simple enough, and not a complex one. heck do the Body For Life workout for the first couple months even.

Start off by acclimatizing your body to training again. Even though you have trained before, you would start out like a beginner yes. Full-Body sessions would be best, and you can ease into splits 4-8 weeks later, once your body is back into training mode.

I recommend that you review The 3 Keys to Fat Loss - there is an entire section on training, with a sample training programme for a beginner included in the article. It also contains comprehensive advice and information re nutrition as well as training for fat loss, since it sounds like you might want that.
