what exactly do you want to achieve?
one thing I want to stress is that nutrition is equally important as the exercise you do.
If you want to build muscle mass you will need to ensure you have sufficient protein intake and ensure that you consume more calories than you expend. I would normally say fish, chicken and steamed veggies but since you're a vegan you might want to go with a protein supplement and nuts.
to start off with in building muscle I would suggest maybe some basic movements such as squats, bench press, crunches, shoulder presses and some curls. pick a weight you can do 15 reps with, rest 30 seconds and do as many as you can, rest and then as many as you can again. Each time you work out make sure you add a rep to the second set until you reach 15 and then add a rep to the last set until you reach 15, once you get 3 sets of 15 reps increase the weight and start again.
I'd suggest alternate days weights-aerobics-weights-..... and 1 day off a week.
this is just a general guide, should provide a good start until you decide you want to hone in on an aspect of your fitness, tone or size.
