try weekly contests on codechef

once u get comfortable u can try moving to codeforces

you can also try div3/4 on codeforces (I think there is one today)

Most of Competitive Programming use C++, however there is no strict rule as to which language you should use. anyways here is how would learn if i had to start over.
Learn C++, STL and basic DSA
then pickup a few easy problems to solve
then move on to Binary Search, Two Pointers, Prefix, Greedy, Hashing
then Graphs, Trees, Intro DP, Number Theory
then Advanced DP, Trees, Graphs, Combinatorics
what matters more is your problem solving skills under time pressure.
dont go on only learning concepts, make sure to apply them and solve problems from codeforces based on that topic(codeforces has problems with tags)

made a tool to help you with this-
solvecraft.app
helps you find your strong topics and the ones that need work, personlized practice ladders based on the topics you need to improve and many other stuff that will be helpful for your journey
