I am quite worried that I’m having to keep looking at solutions and cannot seem to do many of the proofs myself?

For some background I have a masters in physics where I took some quantum computing and I got this book to refresh myself before starting a second masters later this year - but I’ve spent 3 years in finance and feel like I’m extremely rusty with my problem solving / memory of all the things I previously learned.

I used to learn by doing exercises in my head and going straight to solutions to see if the method was correct or not and this seemed to help me gain an understanding faster than if I tried to answer questions properly. 3 years laters and I’m trying to go through the exercises in this book the “right” way i.e. by trying to write down solutions then see if they are right but I’m not sure why I cannot seem to get some of the more simpler proofs correct? It’s discouraging me if I’m honest but my interest is not wavering.

As soon as I look at the solution it becomes obvious and I keep wondering “how come I didn’t think of it that way!”.

My main question here is should I revert back to going straight to solutions as I did during my previous degree or should I attempt questions (with the risk of me not covering things fast enough before my course starts). Also how do I stop beating myself up when I don’t get the answer after it seems so obvious!

Any advice?
