I played about 500 chess parties on lichess and maybe 400 with comuter. I spent 60 hours for watching chess guides. I solved 1791 puzzles. I have 1600 rank on lichess. Do I have good stats including how much time I spent playing in this game?
You're asking the wrong questions. Let me explain.
You should be able to ask yourself: am I having fun and am I improving?
Both of these should be answered as "yes".
If you feel you're not having fun: take a break, study less, play chess variants, try new openings, or geek out on a particular chess player (like Tal or Keres).
If you're not improving: seek out a chess coach that can help get you back on track for improvement.
The stats and rating numbers should only be a metric to yourself of how you're doing personally. Do not fall into the trap of comparing your chess value to other's chess value. That leads to nowhere, though feel free to use it as motivation if you can keep the negativity from your heart and mind :)
TL;DR: no one can answer your question definitively but you. Part of the improvement is your own self-awareness of your successes and areas of improvement.

@ioxod
Thanks for reply! You're right about that I aksed the wrong questions. I think that I don't improving despite the fact that I training in miscellaneous ways. I always play rapids games and maybe it limits my potential. I watched a lot of master's parties
but I don't focused at one. I think I need something what "expand their horizons". But I don't want to get involved in chess coaches.

OK wish you luck, sounds like you're confident in your path :)
Rating has one purpose of finding a fair match between you and your opponent.
It's neither good or bad. The higher the rank the harder the game gets and the number of potential players you can play shrinks.
As ioxod had said it's all about fun and self improvement. Unless you plan on going on to championships then you don't need to worry about rankings.

If you want to know how strong you are than just click on blitz or rapid rating in your player profile and take a look at your percentile, eg. in rapid games your rating is higher than approximately 70 % of lichess users who played rapid this week.

I asked did I have good stats including that how much time I spent playing in this game. I have not found the statistics of players which would show me their ranks with played parties. Who knows? Maybe most peoply who play on this site have 500 parties or something like that. @ioxod tell me that I should ask myself "am I improving?" and I think that I don't. So questions are simple. What can I do to be better player? and How I compared to other players including how time I spend on it?

Yes, you did well. Just please don't delude yourself and start believing in some crazy stuff like one guy, who believed, that in one month training he can beat Magnus Carlsen :D lol
@TrainingOTB

Play for fun, study theory, tactics, strategy and play more blitz. If you do that the rating will come naturally. For now I have to say that the Gauss bell curve indicates the medium(center curve) rating on Lichess is 1550, this is considered a normal stat. Your stats are ok for a begginer.
