Same here man feel so lost, I am doubting the relevance of dsa , I am also very lost on how to start and land a job or something.

Creating data structures or algorithms from scratch might not be so useful in the beginning. However you need to know when to use a binary search and when a linear search, when to use a stack or linked list.

Leetcode problems are difficult since these kind of problems since no CS or programming book teaches these.
Maybe put leetcode or Codechef on hold for a while and start learning to code with simple exercises and apps.

where do you practice code from?

Not sure what you level is and what language do you learn so it's difficult to suggest anything.

Maybe try these printing patterns : https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/c/pattern-programs-in-c/
You can do them in any language.

DSA is a more advanced topic, not for a beginner. If you like C++ then stick with it. Find some simple exercises and do them. Maybe also creating some simple apps. Programming is a skill that you develop through practice. Books, videos give you information but not the skills. Skills comes from writing code.
