Make sure to do plenty of puzzles. Find a opening that suits you. Analyze your games.

No shortcuts. Do it it hardly not easily.

Stop playing ultra bullet, bullet and blitz - to start with!
Focus on accuracy not on the amount of puzzles you solve!
Analyze your games!
Start learning strategy with a book for starters/intermediate players!
Don't give up!

There is no easy way, but there are ways harder than others.
You can get better even playing just bullet, but it will take ages.
Better to focus on slow games, on planning, on analysing your games and studying what you still miss in your game.
Man, i've been stuck below for few years, I know the feeling of reaching an obstacle, but you can definitely get better without having to give up your life and playing chess all day.

Puzzles are good (and probably I would need them too), but take your time when solving them.
Think about how you reason, why you missed the ones you didn't solve, what are the tactical themes that you are good at spotting and the ones you are bad.

Quality over quantity.

Puzzles are easy. 1500 players of blitz, rating of puzzles are 2000+. You have to you find your mistake. So that next time, you will not make that mistake next time.

Have you tried eating fried spiders under the full moon? Who knows, might as well work. If it doesn't, then well I'm sorry, I did everything I could to help.
