I'd suggest starting with c# and look into unity. unreal is a good choice too. both are game engines and are free. There are plenty of good resources for unity at least since it has a wider user base. Unity will allow you not to have to program your own game engine every time, which saves a ton of hassle. Anyways I'd suggest c#(CSharp) just because it is a lower level language so it's more strict about how you can write your code and will force you to pay attention to the smaller details then some other languages will. If you learn C# it will be much easier to pick up other coding languages in the future. That's at least based on my personal experience.

It's my pleasure, Python is wonderful pave. a lot of mobile games can be programmed in python and it's a wonderful first language. if you are just starting out learning coding python is good because of the relative ease of learning. but if you learn c# or c++ you will understand much more in the end. Although they are much more unforgiving than python is at first, you will improve dramatically and be able to easily tackle most other languages.
