obs:for any bad english it isnt my first language so i ask for patience thx
All you really need is pact of the blade and its dependent invocations. (Devouring blade, thirsting blade, maybe eldritch smite and/or lifedrinker) This is sufficient. Eldritch mind lets you hold concentration spells better, which may be worth it for you.
For defense, you probably want either armor of shadows or light armor. Either way, you want dexterity.
Another approach is to take a level of fighter to get the better armor proficiencies, and go for medium armor with dex, or heavy armor and strength. (You can also get medium armor with a feat at 4th instead of by multiclassing. The two feats needed for heavy seems like overkill, and fighter also gives you shields.)
(If you're using older subclasses, hexblade also gives you shields, but it's got features that are redundant with the 24 blade pact. They haven't updated it yet, but are likely going to in the future.)
Not going to go into spells, except to warn you off hex -- you can often get better effect from other concentration spells, and they're usually more fun.
To add to this I believe the fiend and the fey are the best subclasses for the bladelock because of the natural defenses these two subclasses come with. On fiend you have dark one's blessing, dark one's own luck for better saves and fiendish resistance to add to your defenses. And the fey you have misty escape, refreshing steps beguiling defenses in addition to spells like blink and greater invisibility.
Second of all, pretty much everything jl8e said with the exception that you don’t need as much dexterity if you are going with the fighter dip for medium armor and a shield. For that, I would spread my stats 8, 14, 15+1, 8, 10, 15+2. It’s what I do anyway.
Lastly, as far as feats/ASI go, I would strongly consider Warcaster at level 4 (especially if you take a fighter dip) to even up your Charisma as well let you cast spells with a shield equipped as a fighter/warlock.
I’ll try and attach my character sheet as an example the next chance I get. It’s more of a hybrid build, but it should give you a good idea of what you can do.

Why not start as Fighter for 1 level and get heavy armour? Yes you don't get locky until level 2 but you have a fighting style (AC+1 maybe), can go heavy armour and shield. I would suggest think of the char as a fighter foremost and use the magic stuff to enhance the fighting. Invocation to cast jump spell at will - boost your move to get into the fight right there +20' move each round etc. Thirsting blade helps you stay in the fight longer as you can spend your hit dice 1/rnd i think with CON bonus as as free action.

First and foremost, welcome!
