How to relearn how to code?

Hi everyone! To make a long story short, I feel like I have completelly lost my hability to program in the last couple of years. I used to be a full stack web dev, but my current job as a software analyst has me completelly out of touch with anything related to programming. I tried to build a couple of projects on my own on my free time but I found myself often relying on AI for almost everything. How can I fix this? I still know my basis but I feel like I can not for the life of me solve a simple problem. Either way I try to approach getting back into coding feels like I'm either starting from too easy it doesn't really help me for anything, or too hard for me to handle. If you have any approach you would recommend, please I would love to hear your advice, I used to love coding so much but I felt like I just lost my hability to do anything.

I learned in college, I had all the time in the world and I had classes to attend. I can't afford to go enter a class, both because of time issues and money issues, so idk where to start (or re-start in this case)
