Can someone guide me in the direction of an elaborate paper or literature on a detailed step by step guide of how to conduct a meta analysis, especially if it is for observational studies.

The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement should be followed. See here: http://www.prisma-statement.org/statement.htm
There are several published papers about this, for example;
Chung, K. C., Burns, P. B., & Kim, H. M. (2006). A practical guide to meta-analysis. Journal of Hand Surery, 31A, 1671-1678.
Field, A. P., & Gillett, R. (2010). How to do a meta-analysis. British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 63, 665-694.
