Shifting from bodyweight exercises to bodyweight + dumbbell exercises. Is it necessary to divide up muscle groups per day or I can do two groups in a day?

Back story: I weighed 187lbs at the end of February. And then the lockdown/quarantine happened in our country. Due to lack of fast food/junk food, I started loosing weight automatically. Because I was only eating homemade, good food. At the end of March I weighed 170lbs. So I figured, why not help the weight loss by some exercises? So I started doing bodyweight workout. Basic push-ups, pull-ups.

Then I started doing some advanced push-ups such as decline, diamond, elevated like pushups to target more muscles.

Currently I was doing: Feet elevated pushups (15x3) Normal pushups (15x3) Inclined diamond pushups (15x3) Elevated pike pushups (8x3) Pike presses (10x3) Basic pull-ups (8x3) Russian pull-ups (8x3)

Recently I purchased dumbbells because now I am addicted to fitness. Now I want suggestions of how to divide muscle groups per day and the ideal rest/gap days for a muscle group. I will be doing dumbbells and bodyweight exercises. But since I have more options now and more ways to target a single muscle group, what should the next step?

Any help would be greatly helpful.
