How far can I get in chess.com ELO before actually studying?

I am in my early 40s. I just started playing chess 2 months ago. I went from 400 to 900 in a rapid time without doing actual studying. I study 1 white opening and two black openings (1 against E4 and one against E5). I review my names and once a while do a puzzle or 2. What ELO does this method start being inefficient and start add alternative to improve? And resources would you recommend if I want to eventually get to 1500+ or even 2000+ elo down the road?

I think 1600 is possible without studying, I could be wrong though. I haven’t studied either, despite playing chess for 11 months.

You need to start hitting the books at 1300. Your rating wil stagnate atp. I started studying when I was a 900
