The one thing that you do not appear to be doing is to play someone "face to face". That is easy to do where I live (UK) but I realise that it can be difficult in other countries. However it is the best way to improve when combined with chess.com. Are there any chess clubs or chess cafes near to you?
Well yeah. I mean there are some clubs. But mostly if you want to play anyone good you have to pay them.
I'm a beginner and I feel I'm doing a great improvement by doing tactics and studying Paul Morphy games (I read somewhere that his games are highly instructive for beginners)

Yes. You'll get a lot more out of studying games by the older masters... Morphy, Paulsen, Chigorin (also spelled Tschigorin in some sources), Tarrasch...
The game was simpler back then, and defensive technique was poorly developed. That means that the games (and the ideas involved) are fairly easy for beginners to follow.
Things got more complicated with Alekhine, Botvinnik, Tal, etc.

I have this book, its a great little book although i don't like the way he has butchered chess notation with things like de instead of dxe

No pun intended?
