Advice on beginner boxer training gloves

I am 180lbs, 5'4", short, stout, frame and no experience in boxing besides training with my father at a young age to defend myself. I love the sport growing up and want to start training and see were it may lead. I am having a hard time deciding on which bag gloves to purchase. I want leather and Velcro strap if possible. I was looking at going with a 16oz glove for the verse the 14oz. The problem is I don't have a gym or any professional training facility near me for some sound help that I can trust and try on for fit. I was told to look at Winnings, Rival, or Cleto Reyes brand. I am not too concern about price and more more about protection that will last so under $100? maybe pushing over a little? Any advice anyone can offer on how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you and God bless,
