New to cybersecurity

Guys, rn I'm 18. I've learnt these networking topics: "Networking fundamentals, OSI/TCP-IP models, TCP/UDP, IP addressing & subnetting, routing/NAT/firewalls, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS basics, ARP/DHCP, ports & common services (FTP/SMB/RDP/SMTP/IMAP), Kerberos basics, authentication/sessions, packet flow, traceroute/TTL, and basic MITM." I can use Wireshark for packet analysis, understand packet flow and stuff. I'm doing PortSwigger labs daily, trying to write reports for them, and taking notes with attack methodology and stuff. I've learnt HTML/CSS, and I'm learning JS daily too. Is there anything I am missing in my learning path?? Feel free to share it will be great help in my journey

Edit: Also i forgot to mention that I can use Burp Suite very well too...

Edit 2: Genuinely wanna thank everyone who took the time to give advice and share their experiences... I definitely have a better idea of what to learn next now. I really do appreciate all the guidance.. nd good hunting everyone :)

Feedback on my PortSwigger lab writeups

Hey guys, I'm 18 and seriously into cybersecurity. I've been working through PortSwigger's SSV learning path and documenting the labs I think are worth sharing on GitHub. I used AI only to fix grammar — the methodology, thought process, and explanations are fully mine. Would love honest feedback on the writing style and whether this format works for a portfolio. Still early in my journey so any criticism is welcome.
