Advice please !, I have basic understanding of music, but singing is totally new, i need a path which i can follow to improve at singing, cuz im totally lost right now

Alr so im a pianist, and a guitarist; But i wanted to learn singing too, so i started singing my favourite songs 4 months ago. i did improve a little in the first 2 months, like 2 months after i started, my range had improved, but A LOT OF strain. In the 3rd month, i discovered that straining my voice isnt normal, so i tried to avoid it, i got to know that moving the larynx up to raise pitch is wrong, so i fixed it. i also got to know that we dont have to sing from the throat, and diaphragm singing is ideal, so i tried to get that right too. Is my approach towards singing correct? now after 4 months of singing from scratch, i am able to sing okay, but i wanna improve, i wanna be able to sing so that the listener is pleased, not ear graped as of now. tell me how do i improve the fastest, any method is ideal, i just want THE fastest way to improve.

Some things that i noticed are :-

  1. Really bad control in the high range
  2. Voice becomes squeaky in the high range
  3. My highest and lowest pitched notes (my vocal range) is really above average (though its a different matter if i talk about comfortable vocal range haha)
  4. i have a good understanding of music, playing piano for a while now, and really good at guitar too, so i do get the scale, octaves, etc etc part of singing
  5. Cant seem to generate power in the higher range
  6. NEED TO WORK ON Intonation (or wtv its called), as the language i sing in is not my native one

Any advice is appreciated, i wanna know how do improve fast, like where do i start, is there any sequence of learning things? i cant go to a teacher as of now

for reference, im a 17 y/o male
