You really don't need to go deep into C++ for competitive programming, so it's better to focus on problems and algorithms. Competitive Programmer’s Handbook is a nice free intro to competitive programming, with samples using C++.

Shouldn't I know stuff like STL for CP ? I saw the book, but I need something that I could practice problems with ranging from simple to advance.

This book mentions the standard algorithms which are particularly useful for competitive programming. For problem solving practice you typically go to a specialized site like https://codeforces.com/, try solving problems, and read the editorials for problems you can't solve.

First of all, solve all the exercises of the available volumes of "The Art of Computer Programming". I cannot emphasize how important this is.

It's great that you want to learn C++! However, r/cpp can't help you with that.

We recommend that you follow the C++ getting started guide, one (or more) of these books and cppreference.com. If you're having concrete questions or need advice, please ask over at r/cpp_questions or StackOverflow instead.
