Just keep studying. You probably need to put more effort, of course, don't over do it, but don't waste your time with crap.
I'm one of the slowest learners I know of, but I never give up. I've actually have developed a lot of patience to look at the same thing 100 times until I learn.
I can speak a few languages, code in many languages, moved abroad etc. We have so much time to learn in our lives. If we never stop learning, we can definitely be a tower of knowledge, no matter how big our "learning rate" is.
If you know how compounding interest work, you know that TIME is a more important factor than the INTEREST, as TIME makes things exponential. It might sound a bit cliche and cheap, but don't doubt yourself. Be the one that puts the biggest effort to compensate that. Don't waste your life thinking that you aren't good or fit for something.
If your work is too demanding and nobody fired you, that is fine. Keep going, more effort. If somebody decides to fire you for that reason, there is always less demanding work, you can keep studying and come back to your position and even achieve more later. As long as in the end you can take enough calories and don't die to sickness/violence(which you can't control very well) if you keep putting time into your own improvement you will make it.
The truth is that most people I know, after their 30s, they don't want to learn anymore at all, or they don't even feel that they need to, or that they aren't competent, they are all on auto-pilot. From the 30s to the 70s+ you have most of the people that way and no matter how slow you are to learn, if you just take it seriously, I bet you will be miles away from them.
