Hey guys, I am beginning to take chess seriously, but there is a problem; I don't know where to start, what to do, or even who to watch ( I know Gothamchess is very good but his channel is about chess common knowledge not learning ), I just want to know what to do.

Just one piece of advice (I am sure you'll have more in this thread). Your puzzle success rate is only 55%. That's way too low. It means you do not calculate all relevant lines and do not try to find all the best defense moves for your opponent. You should shoot for at least 75% success rate, preferably higher.
