I just reached 1500 after playing for 2 years. My goal is to reach 2000 by the end of this year. What should I study? What advanced concepts do I need to know? And lastly, what is the difference between a 1500 and a 2000?

I went from 1500 to 1600 within a month/50 rapid games by playing stronger opponents in the 1600-2000 category.
You learn more from your losses and also forced to outplay your stronger opponents for wins or draws.
Adjust your outgoing challenges to -25 and +400.

Good luck! And don’t let your win-loss ratio deter you, you’ll be playing stronger opponents but will get your share of wins.

In my opinion one of the biggest differences between a 1500 and a 2000 are tactics
Me being 2300 bullet and rapid , I feel like the easiest way to gain elo is to get good.

First off, congratulations on reaching 1500! I still remember how HAPPY I was the first time I reached 1500 rating on chess.com
Statistically, roughly 90% of all chess players never reach the 1500+ level...ever. The fact that you did it in 2 years is fast improvement (although not unheard of; I actually took about 1 year to reach 1500 myself, but I was also really invested into chess improvement on a personal level).
As amazing as 1500 in 2 years is, the goal of reaching 2000 by the end of this year is unrealistic to say the least - not impossible, but extremely unlikely. Chess rating gets tougher to increase the higher you get due to the nature of the rating system and also because you are playing tougher opponents which require less margin of error to win against. Current Chess World Champion, GM Magnus Carlsen, has been over 2800 for literally a decade and has yet to cross 2900. It isn't that his improvement has stopped. It is just that rating is tougher to gain the higher you get.
Taking the timeline out of things, 1500 to 2000 is a massive skill difference and a 2000 is better at just about every stage of the game compared to a 1500. However, it is my opinion that the biggest non-intuitive difference between them is positional knowledge. The 1500 typically has little more knowledge than to avoid doubled pawns and maybe pursue outposts if they are really knowledgeable.
Conversely, the 2000 probably knows more about outposts and weak squares and pawn structures etc.
We can chat or play unrated sometime if you would like more tailored advice for gaining rating
