I am having the same problem with working out. Either I am pooped out for the rest of the day, and or I am too sore to go the next day.
One thing I know i am doing wrong is nutrition; working out without decent "energy" from food (protein, carbs, fats, etc). I am told you only burn so much fat for the energy.
I just figured out my macros (a plan to lose weight and give some energy for the gym) and I am now planning meal prepping.
Also water, I know I an not drinking enough water.
The next thing I need to work on is sleeping. Not getting a decent night's rest and then working out wipes me out.
Hope this helps!
Sleep is honestly number 1, followed by diet, before even entering the gym.
