Unreal Engine AR apps versus WebAR development and the GLB/GLTF export demon
Web-focused 3D engines (three.js, babylon.js, PlayCanvas, ...) are pretty capable. Maybe not AAA-level like Unreal Engine, but certainly capable of the stuff you're describing here. If you're comfortable working within these frameworks, and writing shaders, there's a ton you can do.

Simple 3D Demo: ClojureScript + PlayCanvas + Odoyle Rules
I wasn't familiar with PlayCanvas, looks very cool.
- I have gotten comfortable with HTML, CSS, JS and somewhat comfortable with react, that i can build my own fullstack websites. But i want to learn about design schemes and how to make my websites look aesthetic and pleasing, if there are any resources available that you guys recommend please share.

What language should I use to make games?
Another thing I recommend is to learn how to make games with ThreeJS (3D) or PixiJs (2D) and build web-based games using javascript. If you want a full-fledged web game engine, then you can take a look at Playcanvas. Playcanvas is similar to unity but for web-based games. If you want to learn all about Three Js then this course will help you a lot.
