PC locked at 60fps

Hello, for a while now my laptop with GTX 1650, 16GB RAM, 144Hz has been stuck at a constant 60 FPS in games like LoL, Osu, Valorant, whereas there was no issue before. I have tried all possible methods, Vsync is disabled, but nothing changes; it stays and never goes above 62 FPS.
So is there a method to solve this FPS issue?

You have a CPU that runs hot, but that's often the case with a laptop. However, in this screenshot, we can't see the frequency curve. To determine if you're experiencing thermal throttling, you need to check whether the CPU frequencies drop during the test, essentially to see if the motherboard is entering safety mode due to high temperatures.
You will restart a test but while monitoring the frequencies. Open HWMonitor before the test and check if you have any other temperatures that are very high during the test. On an older board, my VRMs got so hot that the board put the CPU into safety mode by lowering the frequency to 2GHz, then the temperature dropped and below a certain threshold, the frequencies would start to rise again, and it kept doing that in a loop. I'm not saying you're in the same situation, but it's a possibility.
Give me the exact model of your laptop and how long you've been using it.
Given the test I just read and that it’s only 8 months old, there’s very little chance of thermal throttling, or there’s a lot of dust blocking the ventilation. Give it a blow with some canned air to be sure.
Check on CPU-Z if both RAM sticks are properly recognized and also look in Windows power options to make sure you’re in performance mode.
Otherwise, are your drivers up to date? Have you run a virus scan? Also check if there’s no background task running.
If everything is fine and this happened suddenly without any changes in game settings, I’m not sure what it could be.
I turn at 58 degrees on Valo
What's at 58°? The CG, the CM, the CPU, and the VRM, you need to give me these four. Run OCCT stress tests for 30 minutes and see if it crashes or if your frequencies drop during the test.
What am I supposed to deduce from that?
