If you do not lose regularly, then you play too weak opponents.
Always play opponents as strong as possible.

Ok, so I need to find significantly higher rated opposition because I don’t lose to people +100 points higher than me
Are u playing in any ol tournament just to be busy playing? If so, maybe be more selective (if u can afford it) & play only in the 2200+ sections of big tournaments. As u know all ur opponents won't be 2200+ because a lot of sub 2200 & plenty of class players play in those too BUT... the average rating of all ur opponents will go up. Maybe just play in the big events so that'll be possible. I keep noticing that the top kids on the ranking lists (improving players, not those that've leveled out) only seem to play big events and rarely in 3 or 5 round tournaments. It's like they train & prepare to play in 5 or 6 major events each year and leave the small events alone. The ones they do play in they take very seriously. Maybe there's something to that.
Also, maybe a coach 300-400 points above u would be helpful if u can afford it.
Sleep well, eat well, be active and drink enough water.

During chess tournaments I sleep for 4 hours, jog for 30 minutes, and go to the restroom 5 times per game. 2/3 done

chesstempo problems, lots of them. 2000+ rating ones especially.
main difference between a 2200 and a 2000 is more concrete play. sure, you can improve on endgame and openings too but without knowing more on your strengths and weaknesses thats vague advice.

I usually don't do chesstempo because the problems are hard. But I'm also not seeing anything else that can really help me improve on calculation, and more importantly, get me to stop being lazy. Came here to piggyback off the OP and I'm glad I did
