I guess there is some problem with reporting.. It says both tibial and femoral attachments are not intact which is unlikely.. Better consult a doctor(orthopaedician) with MRI films so that he can correlate ur symptoms and clinical findings with MRI..
If partial tear without instability, exercises should be sufficient but professional help by a physiotherapist is needed preferably under the supervision of a doctor is advisable

2. Gym- Yes, but after 6 months, due to graded 3+ injury.
Health Tips
3. Strengthening- HOLD, its per-mature to jump in gym. Likely, you will injure more due to lack of expert (I mean like us), not a local trainers, even they cannot rule out risk and benefits of your success. Kindly do not play with your knee more. Contact a clinical physio, ASAP.

A decision on further treatment has to be made based on your symptoms, MRI images+report and clinical examination of the knee. As only report is available, its improper to suggest or recommend any treatment.
Next Steps
Discuss with your Orthopaedic Surgeon. He will be the best person to decide.
