I'm using multi-tab in my browser and some are youtube videos, live trading, twitter, discord etc.

Sometimes its sluggish (once in a while), but after i bought an external monitor n plugged-in, it gets heated up more often and with fans noise.

Having external monitor is like make the macbook work "twice". So that's where your issue is.
Why not, you try to visit any apple reseller, try out the macbook Air on the spot, open few tabs, run youtube, play music, etc.
or maybe triple from your usual and see if there's any bottleneck by viewing the Activity Monitor.app

yes i tried out, but its hard to test it because sometimes sluggish/heat only comes after some time (instead of instantly). But accordingly to ur suggestion, seems like Macbook Pro with M2 PRO chips would suit my usage more.
