Not making progress
It's likely tough and slow-going because you don't know the words. Consider separately studying the HSK1-3 words (600 words), and filling in the gaps. I take the HSK vocabulary (lists are here) and put them on my wall, so I can see my progress and weak words.

Difference between old hsk3 and hsk4?
HSK3 is indeed only A1-ish. You can judge for yourself if HSK4 is worth it by looking at the HSK4 vocabulary.

1000 most commonly used characters poster

Stagnation progression after 18 months
Especially early on, it's important to master vocabulary, as this accelerates the rate of improving all other aspects of Chinese. (Later on, we focus more on improving fluency.) Perhaps start by studying HSK3/4 vocabulary; I suggest a "breadth first approach", focusing on studying large numbers of words inaccurately (as opposed to a small number of words accurately), and let fluency improve naturally with repeated exposure.

Progressing beyond HSK5
If you haven't already mastered the HSK vocabulary (which seems likely, given you're asking about what vocabulary to study), this sounds wildly unrealistic.
