It depends on the person, the hours they are willing to put into it, and their playstyle/pace.

A friend of mine joined the game not so long ago. He managed to finish all MSQ in 2 months (ARR to SHB 5.55).

OP has ARR, HW, and if I understand correctly, some of Stromblood done by now. This should leave the rest Stromblood and Shadowbringers for him to complete. We still have 48 days till Endwalker. OP can make it if they focus on doing MSQ.

If OP plays 3 hours each day, They should finish all MSQ up to the very last patch 5.55 before Endwalker release. Then again, I don't know OP playstyle/pace. Some players can finish a lot in 3 hours, while some might need more time to finish the same amount of content.
