I’ve been looking at “how to reassess your chess” as a very commonly recommended one.
How To Reassess your Chess by Silman is excellent for developing your positional awareness
For positional play, I would recommend his "How to Reassess Your Chess" at your level.
Another thing I’d recommend is getting the book “How to reassess your chess, 4th edition” by Jeremy Sillman. Completely changed how I approach my games and the positions im in.
Possibilities recommendations (in order, if you haven't read them): "How To Reassess Your Chess," "The Art of Attack", "Understanding Chess, Move by Move" by Nunn.

I did a lot of Woodpecker Method on chessable but I'm not convinced its ideal for working through tactics.
Lately i've only studied tactics books on chessable since its much faster when you dont have to set up a board, especially for woodpecker.
There are many decent tactics/calculation books. You could consider one of: Forcing Chess Moves, Turbo Charge Your Chess Tactics, Woodpecker Method, Romain Eduoard's calculation books, Finding Chess Jewels.
I like the woodpecker method for tactics but following the Dojo recommendations is also totally fine.
The Woodpecker Method.
