Macbook pro 2016 running very slow

Hi all,

My 2016, two thunderbolt dual core intel i5 macbook pro is running very slow. Once I open more than 3 applications, it just slows down. I can't get the same speed as before and am forced to shut down the laptop.

I followed the advice from here by Apple- If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support (SG)

I cleared a lot of items and was able to free up a lot of space from the SSD. I have a few screenshots of my activity monitor if it helps. An observation I have made is when I open a lot of tabs on chrome, it becomes very slow. Currently I am on MacOS Monterey 12.7.6.

Sometimes when watching a video, it just stutters and I am forced to shut it down by pressing and holding the power button.

I don't know what should I do to make it less slower. I see much older mac's still running fast and strong but not mine. I am not very technical as well, I will need some extra help if something is related to using terminal.

Please do let me know what to do, I would like to keep this machine running fast for much longer

Thanks!
