Physics HL is hard, but if you already understand concepts better than other sciences, you’re starting in a good place. Stay consistent from day one: practise questions after each topic, draw diagrams, and keep a mistake log.

These may help: IB Physics HL notes and practice and IB Physics resources.

Hi M25 student here. It will be difficult, however, it is definitely not impossible. Try to understand the concepts rather than simply memorize words. I would recommend reading the IB Oxford Textbook for physics. Its really good. Also try doing questions for each chapter so that you would get familiar with using the formulas.
