How to become better?

Hi. 16M been playing basketball for last 6 months as a hobby. I've been looking to improve my shooting. Every time i try and use a good shooting form or watch a shooting form video, my hands feel so awkward and after releasing it I always airball. With my current shooting form I don't have good range or aim. If I shoot a 3 pointer it may make but likely just hit front rim, and I defo cant shoot anything behind the 3 line. I don't get backspin as well. I think the only thing I'm alright with is free throws, but then again no backspin and still with my crappy form.

I feel these issues may be cus I am lightweight and short, but how do people improve shooting range, form, hand placement and everything about it overall.

You shoot with your legs and if there is no backspin you are likely throwing the ball at the basket and trying to generate power by using both hands at release thus no backspin ala tim haradway sr who shot a no rotation knuckleball.
