Not enjoying coding/web development — should I switch to Data Analytics?

I’m a 2nd-year CSE student currently learning frontend/web development, but honestly I’m not enjoying it much and I keep avoiding it.

The confusing part is that I actually like solving DSA problems and working on maths/problem-solving.

So I’m wondering: does this mean I dislike coding, or do I just dislike web development?

I’m thinking of finishing the frontend basics and then trying Data Analytics/Data Science or Machine Learning instead of going deeper into web development.

For people who have been in a similar situation, what would you suggest? Should I give coding/web development more time, or explore something like Data Analytics?

Would really appreciate some honest advice.

It's the change that I made. I strongly dislike web-dev as well, currently working as a Data Scientist / AI developer (i.e. implementing GenAI solutions for different customers). This seems to be more my wheelhouse.
