So I’m rated 600 and climbing at a decent rate but I don’t study or do anything like that. Is that bad? Cuz I’ve seen a lot of people saying they study it a lot to get to 600

It is good that you are climbing without study's especially by reviewing your games. But study can take many forms and can be quite enjoyable. Playing over master games from the database slowly and thoughtfully is very instructive. A good book such as "Logical Chess Move by Move" is invaluable and entertaining. Picking a favorite opening and exploring it will bring confidence. And don't forget all the great YouTubers!

You don't have to study to have fun in chess. Personally I just play for fun, occasionally watch some Gotham chess videos here and there but no serious studying.
But I am 550 so can I really talk about this
I would say not. My 5 year old niece whose favorite piece is the horsey has a 600 rating on here.
You can learn quite a bit by playing through the games of the great masters. Is this study? Or fun? Play over the world championship matches or the famous tournaments. Even without “studying,” you will learn a lot. And when you see that your playing strength increases and that you win more games, you will have even more fun.

However, I read that 1000 is something like average rating here. So, if you have more - it means you are better than average.

How should I guess? Start playing and put intermediate goal until December 2025, let’s say. And then again, put another goal to end of 2026
