That means your muscles are working hard. Keep it up, anon, it's worth the pain!
Try lifting.
I remember a time when I could do 40 real push ups in one go.
no I wasn't fit. I had just been doing frequent push ups for a little while.
I got lazy again and stopped doing any exercise though
exercising is not fun.

You wont ache like that ever again if you keep doing them.

Obviously, everyone has to start somewhere.

Thank you anon. Should I wait for the aches to fully go away before doing more? 50 press ups / sit ups every 3 days doesn't seem like it will get me anywhere.

I bought some dumbbells off Amazon, will that do anything or do you mean bench press type lifting? I only have them on 6kg atm. I don't know how much to put on there.

Hi Anon, you should get a gym membership if you're really looking to get a better body. You're right about 50 press ups and sit ups every three days not getting you anywhere, you'll need weights. You can exercise despite aching, but go slow at first since your body needs to adjust.

Although that is a good place to start, at some point it would be recommendable that you stat paying atenttion to other areas than your core and chest aswell.
The easiest place to start is to get a yoga mat and some dumbells, but even those things can wait if you are just starting out. You don't need to immediately start pushing yourself as hard as possible if you are just starting out. That will only get you disinterested and scare you away for a long time, try to think of fitness as a long term lifestyle change, more like so that you will do atleast something every now and then. The biggest rookie mistake is srtictly schedualing yourself and going too hard on whatever, then getting bored and stopping alltogether. I know, because I have gone trough this circle a million times.
4 Times a week straining yourself in one way or another is plenty enough at first. If your chest and stomache ache, you can work on your back, arms or legs.
Personally I recommend getting a yoga mat as soon as possible and start stretching. Increased mobility that follows from that is one of the most dramatic changes you can notice of yourself, let alone getting some muscle to right places.

Oh and also you should work on cardio, walking or running is good, but I personally recommend getting a bicycle and riding the shit out of it.
