Stopped Playing Chess for 5.5 Months (2025) (January to June) (and also didn't play much chess since November (2024)... so no chess serious chess since 7 months

Hi! I am Arsh from India. I came to know how the pieces move when I was 8 or 9 years old. That time I was just playing for fun irl with my father and brother. When I was 12 yrs old. My brother downloaded chess.com and I started playing. It was on FEB 15 that I started playing chess seriously. Currently, I am 13 years old. I have only played two OTB tourney till now, I scored 4/9 in the first one and came very close to beating a 1500-rated player (I was 1100-rated that time). And the second one i played in october 2024 and scored 4/8 (was 1600 rated that time)..
