I wanted to ask all the experts, what can I do to get better? I want to become a good coder, and I don't have any guidance on what to do (like what topics to study). Any and every help is appreciated!

I did a lot of leetcode initially to practice implementation skills since that's most of the challenge in A-B for div 2 contests. pretty much as long as you have a good enough sense of everything in algo 1 (https://leetcode.com/study-plan/algorithm/) you're probably good. Also I find best way to practice is through virtual contests since those simulate a real contest as closely as possible.
Thank you :). Have any thoughts for div 2 C..?
It's kinda hard to give specific advice for div 2 C since each contest the problems will greatly vary. That said about 99% of the time you don't need any fancy data structure knowledge for C other than maybe a basic understanding of graphs. Mostly those questions have some use of greedy or dp. Binary search is also pretty common and is important for pretty much all questions. C can also be implementation heavy occasionally.
Also try to VP and solve 6/7 of Div.3 or even AK
