@Mahith1708 ,impossible for a beginner to reach 2300 in 6 month. (2-3 years fastest, average 5-10 years and majority never reach even after 20-30 years).

If improvement is really important to you, you should study Yusupov chess books series. You can skip the basic books.

i am not really strong enough yet to talk about how to improve from 2300
but from a few perpetual chess potcasts i have taken away that when hitting a plateau it can be helpfull to focus on openings for a while and maybe even changing the repertoire to some extend

It kills me to not be improving. Chess literature to me is lacking in this area. There are people who know how to get better in chess and are not publishing their methods. I look at literature by publish date and there are some good books back in the 2000s but not much recently. The landscape is just so different now than when I started playing back in the 90s.
If you follow some of Magnus's games with lichess's engine on you'll notice most of his moves are same as the computer. People say that Magnus isn't better than Fischer because Fischer didn't use engines for study. Ok but how do I use these engines to improve. I've analyzed my games and learned a few things from them but still not much improvement.
There is so much improvement in today's chess. People have You tube. Then there are Lichess's tools to help. It seems that the level of competition is rising and that more people are playing than ever before. To be able to play in the same tournaments with people that are playing with Carlsen is just phenomenal. Netflix has spawned tons of new players.
Would love to have Chessnetwork (Jerry) do a youtube on how to utilize the tools of Lichess.

How to get better is well known and whole lot of information is published. give OP: It just takes more and more work to get better as you advance the ladders. Maybe the effort required is bigger than effort delivered. And then again all have upper limit what we can reach. About 1-2% players playing in OTB tournaments ever get NM/CM level. Maybe there some "talent" missing of just the effort required exceeds what people are willing to put in.
A friend of mine kept training diary while going from 2000+ to NM and he trainded on average about 5 hours a day. Maybe small overshoot as he got IM title about year later.

Being young is mandatory. Beyond 30 y.o. we are all doomed.
Not really. I know a guy in his 30-40 who improved from literally 1100 to 2200 blitz in 2 years.
