How long did it take you to be able to serve

Hi, I'm a very short person (168 cm) playing on a mixed net (about 2.24 meters or less) and I'm very much struggling with the overhand serve. I'm curious how long it took you to learn. I understand the fundamentals of keeping your elbow above you ear and really doing that swing motion when hitting, and also that you should hit the ball with the lower part of your hand so it goes up (?) and ofc positioning so that your hips rotate inwards and stuff. But really combining all of that is a struggle to me, as there's always something off about the serve, and if it's not the strength, then it's me having absolutely no arm strength or shoulder strength. For some reason I can serve better when I jump up, probably cause it makes me taller or whatever. I see people just hitting the ball almost at their height, like a lil over their head, but if I do that the ball will 150% hit the net. Any tips?
