I have been playing chess for 2-3 years I think, but my elo is way lesser than my playing strength. what is the best and fastest way to skyrocket your elo if you want to catch up with your actual playing strength?

Learn exactly how to think in the opening, middlegame and endgame — this is what I teach.
Always blunder-check your moves.
Solve tactics in the right way.
Analyze your games.
Study games of strong players.
Learn how to be more psychologically resilient.
Work on your time management skills.
Get a coach if you can.

If you are referring to rating estimation after the games, that is not a serious tool. If you are playing for a while, and playing regularly (I see that you do), your rating is accurate.
This is a common problem on chess.com. It can give a lot of us a false sense of opponent strength and ELO point value. ELO is just ELO. (At least, chess.com ELO is just ELO, FIDE ELO matters…). ELO on chess.com is simply an estimate. Most 600 rated players on chess.com may really maintain a OTB ELO of 1000. I don’t think there’s a legitimate way to solve our problem. Just keep practicing and be satisfied with your skill, not the number assigned to it.

There are only two ways to skyrocket elo: Win games or convince strangers online that you deserve a higher rating. I see you are choosing the latter. Respect.

I just found about chess and then I immediately got interested in it so I learned it. And I just made an account on chess.com a few months back I think.
