I've been learning C++ for the first time starting in 2019.

I used Marc Gregoire's Professional C++ which has a version that was published last year and includes C++17, alongside Scott Meyer's line of books, and watching a variety of YouTube videos (e.g. Jason Turner, CPP talks...)

I second the recommendation of Professional C++. I am just a self-taught programmer, and to be quite honest, felt I was getting in a bit over my head by buying a book aimed at professionals. But I have found the material to be perfectly accessible even for someone without a CS degree, and I am now using C++ for my personal projects. I cannot recommend that book highly enough. Just my $.02
