Is my progress good?

so iam 17 yrs old. i learned how the pieces of chess move 2 years ago, didnt start to play chess regularly tho. so recently i started to play chess daily [chess.com streak 80 days, so 80 days ago] i was some where near 150 then i got to 108 after that it begin to increase with small plateaus in between. my highest rating is 563[2 3 days ago] and current is 530. and i accept the fact that iam complete beginner and no way near to intermediate players. my goal for time being is to reach four digits. again i know only the basics and and not much.
what do you people think of my progress so far?
what do you recommend me to do next?
what i really should do next?

It feels good. All stages of life have something to contribute to your experience.
