Hello guys, I recently came to know about this fact that in codeforces contests many times I miss on problems which are based on observations, So I had to ask will doing a lot of problems with the tag of constructive algorithms help me in improving my observational skills?

The more you practice (it doesn't matter whether you are able to do problems or not in the initial phase of learning ) the more you will see how the problem setter thought about solving the problem , what kind of observation you can make in general in different kind of questions. I don't think there is any kind of formula to master the observation skill , it can only be improved by doing practice.
I agree that practising is going to make one better. But specifically practising constructive algorithms wouldn't that be helpful?
I think you should do more constructive question + do better questions. You have mostly done questions of around 800-1500( 225/276) questions do more 1500-1800 questions.
Thanks for that. From where were you able to analyze this thing that I have done 225/276 problems of around 800-1500?
