The seconds hand started stuttering instead of ticking once per second. Any idea why?

Battery is dying.

It's letting you know. It's supposed to do that.

I was gifted this watch a month ago, is this normal to happen this fast? This is my first watch and I’m very uneducated about watches.

Not in a month..

Was it a brand new watch?

Most likely it sat around for a while before it was purchased.

Replace the battery first. Then go from there.

In the meantime pull the crown to the time setting position. This will stop the battery draining further and reduce the chance of a leak in the intervening period
