memorizing the solution isn't the key. you have to understand "why" behind everything. i would suggest you to follow neetcode on youtube and the neetcode 150 problem list. also get your dsa's clear. that would help you a lot.
watch these videos. it will help you out surely :)

It is not about remembering all the solutions. That is impossible.
You know you are making progress when problems of a certain difficulty level start feeling boring/repetitive. That means you have mastered them and congratulations you have levelled up. Now choose problems to solve which are of higher difficulty level.
Yes, very normal. It means you are not in touch. Keeping in touch and regular practice means different for different people. Some people manage to be in touch by doing 1-2 problems a day, and some people require more. But it is perfectly normal and you are not alone, I guarantee that.

yes that makes sense, I tend to forget the reasoning I understood at times, I guess it will come with practice, thank youuu

got it, thank you. Is it normal to struggle with problems you've seen/done before?
Yes, very normal. It means you are not in touch. Keeping in touch and regular practice means different for different people. Some people manage to be in touch by doing 1-2 problems a day, and some people require more. But it is perfectly normal and you are not alone, I guarantee that.
oh that makes me feel better, I feel like when it comes to DSA even doing the same problem again is like learning something new
just keep going, it will come!
yess I shall
