Hi! I am 13 and started playing chess at a chess club when I was 10. Do you think that it is possible for me to become a WGM in the future? And what is the best way to improve?

Well if you are untitled then I would start by trying to be WCM. WGM seems too high of a goal for a untitled player. But if you work hard enough then yes you can, but it would take years of study and improvement.

idk a lot about the process, but it seems likely within the next 20 or so years that if you really grind you could reach WGM title.  Generally GMs and WGMs (provided that they study chess for their entire life and start around four or five) reach the IM title around their teens, and reach GM title in their twenties.  But I feel like if you really studied and put your heart into it, you might be able to become a WGM in your thirties or so.  Levy Rozman is a good example of this.  He has yet to become a GM and is 25, past the age most GMs get their title.  It's never really too late.  At least in my opinion,  which may be extremely wrong.  But looking at it with just information I've seen around me in my short time in the chess world, I don't think I'm that far off.

Do you know how I can improve? (study openings, endgames, play, solve tactics...)

Maybe try puzzles for tactics if you haven’t already.
