We don't know anything past this. At the beginning of learning and instruments it seems always to be best to get a private teacher. This private teacher can teach you good tendencies of playing, rather than trying to figure stuff out on your own, only to have to undue bad habits at future times.

Most players with no experience learn based upon their experience and interpretation. So if you are learning from a book you are basing that upon some level of knowledge. That is where a private teacher can teach you much faster, even with 2 or 3 lessons, so you would have a "good foundation" to continue (whether YouTube, etc .. you still base your interpretation of what they are saying/teaching).

Truthfully, from what little you wrote, I would think you don't have a good foundation for an embouchure.
