I've dabbled with Linux years ago and planning to give it another shot.
Is there a difference between Xubuntu 16.04.1 and Xubuntu 16.04.1 LTS?

No, they are exactly the same. LTS is just an acronym meaning Long Term Support. Sometimes people bother to type it, sometimes they don't. Any flavor and point release of 16.04 is LTS.
An LTS version will have support for a longer period than the interim releases (for example 16.10, 17.04, and 17.10). The next LTS release will be 18.04 (even numbered year April release)
See the versions page in the Ubuntu help wiki to see what I mean in more detail, or read the lts tag wiki.
