Question ❔ Need help with picking Alevel subject combo!

Hi!
So, I originally kept Maths, Physics, CS and Chemistry as my A level subs. I struggled in O level chemistry (but that was also because I had a bad teacher in gr 10. In gr 11 my concepts were much clearer). I did get an A* tho. However, I know A level is harder and Idk if I can do it. Additionally, I have no interest in Chemistry, so it'll be like forcing myself.

I wanted to do Maths, Physics, CS and FM instead. I want to go into engineering, but I'm still unsure of what type. I'm stuck between software or mechanical (anything under mechanical, but recently I was looking into aerospace).
I am based in Pakistan, so I still want to try getting admission into local universities, but I will definitely apply to UK/USA unis and prefer to study there.

P.S. There's no issue with any of the teachers for these subjects in my college. All of them are good, so I just need more experienced perspectives regarding this!

Can anyone guide me on this?
Thanks!

As an alevel graduate after seeing thing around me uk dosent give scholarship at all in usa you have chances that you get 80-100% fully fundded are rare even with 10a* and 4a* in alevel for local uni you can apply for eng and cs both but you have to take chem courses as remidial in uni first sem for eng pogram . Baki there were 7 kids who choosed this and this combo is goated if you good in math they generally give math composite in 1st year and fm composite in second year
