Can Anyone help me improve?

I currently average 27 or maybe 25 if I'm lucky, and I want to improve my times. I use 2 look oll and pll.
Time one one solve:
4 sec for cross
13 sec for F2L
2 sec for oll
5 sec for PLL
If anyone has tips for getting faster, please let me know! Thanks!
Looking at your splits, I think you should work on cross or PLL.

For cross-

This is my weakest point as well, I think there are a lot of videos that have tips for cross so just search those up as they'll be better than the advice I can give.

For PLL-

You could try using a recognition trainer(e.g. the PLL trainer on SpeedCubeDB) to train your recognition and TPS. I would also recommend starting to learn some more PLLs.
 
Based on your splits, cross and PLL seem to be your biggest weakness so i will emphasize that.
1. Cross
Don’t rotate for cross. This takes way too long and is a common mistake among people at your skill level. Instead, try using F and B moves for your cross. Your cross should be 10 moves or less, or if you can right now, go straight to 8 move cross solutions. Don’t worry about x-crosses and keyhole, you’ll only need that at a higher level. I suggest watching Jperm’s videos, as well as CubeHead’s cross videos to see what they do, and how you can implement them into your solves. Also, try learning some finger tricks like double flicks and B moves and D moves.

2. F2L
Be super comfortable with intuitive F2L to the point where you dont even look at the pieces. This will help a lot with F2L as you can confidently look away from the pieces, allowing you to see other possible F2L cases. This will improve lookahead. If you find somr cases to be hard, you can learn the algorithm for it.

3. PLL
As you have mentioned above, you are learning Full PLL which is good. After learning full pll, you can use thebestsiteever.ru (best name ever) to train your PLLs.

4. some drills
no.1. Blind planning
Plan your cross, do it blind folded, solve each F2L pair blindfolded (don’t worry you can look at the pair before you solve it) until F2L is finished, then do each step of the Last Layer blindfolded.

5. Boneus
If you can record your solves, I can critique them if you just DM me
