I have been using Linux as my daily driver for quite some time (around 5-6 years) and usually manage to get whatever needs to be done. However, I now wish to learn it in a more structured manner, which includes understanding utilities and the workings of Linux. What resources should I look out for?
I would look for something interactive e.g LFS but in containers (or VM or WASM VM) with checkpoints with instructions, something risk free yet hands on.
Not for books.

I’m honestly kicking myself for using arch instead of something without systemd.
I used Arch to learn Linux and ended up just learning systemd really well.

Try your local library - one of the most underrated free resources.
Nearly every lib I’ve been to had at least a couple of decent linux books, so you can just snoop around and check out which ones you like.
Recommending the library when someone is asking for information on a specific topic is almost as helpful as pointing them to a search engine. “Just google it and use whichever result you like”.
What? No.
At least in all the libraries I’ve been to in my life there is a dedicated section for operating systems, which contains a subsection with just Linux books. You can ask the receptionist “Where is the Linux section?”, walk up to it and there it is. And you can grab a book and skim through it to see whether it suits you.
How is that not information on exactly that specific topic?
Genuine question:
Have you ever been to a library when looking for something specific? Was your experience vastly different from mine?
