Specs:
I'm in the midwest so I know how this is; I'm at work during the best natural light hours and in the winter it's just gray all the time and it gets dark so early.
It's a little bit of an investment, but I bought this light to take photos with (you can look around at other lights, this one had the best price as far as I could find at the time). It's collapses so you can store it under your bed or in a closet so it's apartment friendly.
I use this. It works great, and it paired with a white background really makes all the difference.
I've been looking for some budget soft lights, I was looking at these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G3423NQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_N8XACbM08GA1K
But I would love to know if anyone has better suggestions.
I use a softbox like this.
I bought 2 of these lights on Amazon and am pretty pleased. I think there are some sets of 2 that end up being cheaper, but they have definitely made a difference in my listings!
Are the cheap "studio lighting" kits with the CFL bulbs any good for a beginner?

I'm glad you're learning through my experimentation haha. I bought this kit for 33 shipped,

Yeah the picture you linked was one of my first with multiple light sources. Definitely come a long way since then in a short time.
If I had to guess, you are using normal household lights, maybe 50w, 100w, 150w. With such a setup, any extraneous light has a noticeable impact. And you have warm colors for the whole scene (household lights lean to warm).
I use one of these: MOUNTDOG 1350W Photography Continuous Softbox Lighting Kit 20"X28" Professional Photo Studio Equipment with 2pcs E27 Socket 5500K Video Lighting Bulb for Filming Portraits Shoot https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G3423NQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_dHAJDbGY7KJ5S
The brightness is intense and full-spectrum. The intensity means that you have to adjust your camera, which is not a big deal. It also means that any other light or reflection that happens will be negligible. The full-spectrum color means you have a wider range of color to start with and can either leave it or you have a lot more to work with in post.
This is the very first video I did on my kitchen table with normal kitchen lighting around me: https://youtu.be/iy7Lzc5fyGc
Here is my most recent video with the softbox light and a constructed white box around me: https://youtu.be/F8uSafHRffY
