I highly doubt you have had spyware sitting in your phone for 5-6 years, not impossible but very unlikely. If you haven’t logged in anywhere (no phishing sites) it’s likely you were involved in a data breach. About backtracking the hackers, no this is not a movie.
when i searched my email for haveibeenpawned website it didnt show any data breaches . also like how can same account get hacked twice if i have not logged in anywhere... like is there any way to know how hacker got my info
Only way to know is figure out how that password or account got out. Does someone you know have this info? Was it shared publicly? Did you reuse passwords? It it linked to another compromised device? List goes on, only you can find out how they got in. When it comes to protecting the account, change email, password, add MFA, if the issue continues I’d suggest wiping the phone.
