8 months grinding no improvement 900 rated

Hey all i am looking for either some encouragement or just simply a reality check! You choose which one!

I started playing chess at 32 years old. I made it up to 1000 rated and then decided to take a year break. I started playing again about 8 months ago, and I am now rated 900! 

Between playing 15/10 minute games and puzzles, I am probably spending about an hour a day. What is frustrating is that I am worse than i was a year and a half ago and I just dont seem to be improving. 

Am I just too old? Am i not spending enough time? Something else wrong? From what I have read, if I am spending an hour a day between puzzles and games longer than a half hour. . . i should be improving!

Thanks for your suggestions!

You should not play too much, 2-3 games a day is just enough, your brain needs rest bro, it's not s machine 💀
