The Three Proper Usage:

I'm leaving tomorrow; however, I'll be back on Friday.
(Between two independent clauses)
I'm leaving tomorrow. However, I'll be back on Friday.
(Starting a sentence)
I will be back on Friday, however, to collect my things.
(Breaking the flow in a sentence)
NOTE:

'However' is also means "whatever way or manner"
*⃣1- Do you mind my making a recommendation?
*⃣2- Do you mind me making a recommendation?

Which pronoun should come before a gerund (objective pronouns or possessives)

Both correct but today a possessive form is usually recommended.
Remember a possessive pronoun in this case is usually the better choice to consider what you're implying.

*when you ask if someone minds "me making a recommendation" you're asking if they object to you.

*when you ask if someone minds "my making a recommendation" you're asking if they object to the act of recommendation.
