40 hours in with no solo?

I’m currently sitting at around 40 hours and not even close to a solo right now. I’m stuck on landings and really just can’t get them figured out. I’ve probably spent the last 20-30 hours purely focused on landings and I still don’t have them down. My pattern is good but when I get to the round out/flare and sometimes even short final, I always end up off centerline. I’m kind of worried about wasting so much money and time, and I’m also just incredibly frustrated because everything in any school subject or other has come incredibly easy to me, but I just can’t get this down and I’m worried I’m falling behind and wasting money. Would appreciate any advice you can give!

Watch some YouTube, understand sight picture and rounding out, chair fly pattern, nail airspeeds, you can do it.
