Struggling to feel excited after moving back home. Can anyone help?

So bit of context here. I am a 25 year old Male. Moved to bangalore after 2 years of wfh. Stayed there for a year. Got fed up of my job and toxic workplace tendencies so wanted to resign. Dad had been doing a startup for a bit and he felt I was ready to be useful so he asked me to come. I felt it would good for my career so I moved back. 6 months in I feel mentally drained, and all my limited excitement I feel in life are for the small trips I manage to do where I meet some of my college friends/girlfriend. I had read takes online from people that if I had a chance I would leave everything and be at home with parents, but I just dont feel this way. I love my parents a lot but I just dont feel too much anymore. I dont feel like oh I am so lucky I get to spend so much time with my mother. All of my childhood friends from my city have moved to the US. I have 2 friends(not very close but decent) who I meet sometimes, so life is all about waking up, going to office, coming home and calling my long distance girlfriend (who was with me in Bangalore) and falling asleep with 2/3 hours here and there. I rarely have plans. I feel like I am doing something wrong but I cant pinpoint what. How can I passionately want to spend more time with my parents? I just don’t get it from within. Do I really have to work and find new close friends in the city. People at work keep a bit of distance because my dad is the founder. Anyone with any advice?

Worried about career and future....

Can someone help me on my dilemma and what should I do and follow ? My head is bursting out of tension, and I am just going mad being scared about my future. So I(23M) am currently working in a big product based company, and it's office is located in hyderabad. With the recent RTO push, I will have to move there soon. The thing is, I don't want to to move to hyderabad. Many reasons to it. Firstly, I know no body in the city, like have just one friend in that city, and office peeps. Living alone like this is what I'm afraid of (I've never lived away from home). Secondly, I am a pure vegetarian, and hyderabad smells non-veg from road to road. Cafe's restaurants, that stinking non-veg everywhere. Lastly, my parents will be left alone here at my hometown, and they'll not prefer moving with me coz they'll become even more alone in an unknown city. I am thinking to change my job and get to Bangalore, where I do have more friends and family, and Bangalore doesn't stink as well (non-veg is present in cafe's and restaurants everywhere, but it's way much bearable). The last problem still remains. An added problem here is the current economy and recession (I know India has lesser chance of recession, but IT companies are based out of US, so layoff risk continues). I also have a plan to go for higher education, in India itself. But moving away is still an issue, with an added financial burden, as there will be no one earning. And I really feel that getting that second degree is necessary. I am supeeerrrr stressed on what should I do, and with each passing day and I'm able to do nothing, it's just stressing me out so much. Anybody who faced similar situations ? What did you do and how did you cope with it ?
