Boris Gelfand's Decision Making series is amazing.
Artur Yusupov's 9 book series.
Basically any book published by Quality Chess.
Any book on Tal's games.
Mark Dvoretsky's Endgame Manual is basically the only book you need on the endgame, but you need like 9000 IQ to understand some of it.

>tfw playing chess since I was 8 but I've been hovering around a 1400 elo for about 20 years and get mated in like 9 moves

What is my problem? Do I just have bad foundational knowledge? Do I need to relearn how to play and forget everything I know?
My middlegame problem solving is good, but I literally have no clue how to end a game and I have no clue how to start a game.

Same. You need opening/defence strategy.
I tried youtube vids but it doesnt cut it. Either learn from a pro or buy one of those nerd chess books.
