Try to reset your router once and use it normally.

As the title says this is regarding my internet connection.
I have 50mbps connection, though while checking on fast/speedtest the speed remain consistent 46-48mbps.(both down and uplink).
But it keeps on buffering live tv ,video calls and now a days even youtube videos.
I tried ping (being a noob) ,m getting response no packet loss observed.
What could be the reason of buffering?

If u mean reset than i will wipe all the settings righy, and i have to call internet service provider to give me configurations!!
Yes it is broadband.
You will have to enter the user id and password which your ISP will only provide.
Tried speed test (Real*) via LAN connection? If it is normal here then some issue with the router/settings but in the event of same network issues (even with LAN) then its the ISP that needs to be blamed (Try checking the same live tv, video calls and youtube videos with a fast VPN.. these should work fine)

No, not over lan, tried speedtest over wifi.
Note username, password, service name (if applicable) and MAC ID before resetting.
Take settings backup before resetting a router so incase even after entering the details if you can't access internet, you can restore via that file and good to go.
I would suggest try different router from a friend, take backup via file, reset, enter your settings, change MAC ID as that of your router and try speed test or check buffering issues.

Let me try this
Check MTU size setting.. and update as per guidelines on the internet and check performance.
At what resolution are you playing youtube videos? Try to connect to 5ghz wifi band for better speed.
Isn't it possible for the ISP to restrict speeds to some domains? Make sure your ISP is not doing anything like that.
Some things to try:
- Do you have a 5ghz network as well? Connect to that and try
- Are there too many devices using the internet? Not just speed, but there can also be a bandwidth traffic jam if there are too many devices using the same network
- Can you connect via LAN? Is that better than WiFi?

Resolution set on auto, so normally it plays 1080p, but from the past 10-15 days, m facing such buffering issue.
Are you seeing this issue across all devices? Or some devices/apps/websites?
go to speedtest.net change connection to single from multi and change server to Mexico or new york, now check what speed u r getting

What's the point?
i used to face this buffer here and there when i had 1-2mbps international speed but 20mbps plan in covid time but now its solved for a long time,
it happens in covid time with every broadband except jio/airtel cz they took too many new customers in without buying more bandwidth (which comes on yearly lease i guess) resulting huge bandwidth crunch, at that time i could watch youtube at 1080p but couldn't play videos at reddit cz youtube bandwidth goes through peering exchanges but not reddit (youtube also has indian servers)
Maybe they are throttling your speed and have kept speed test websites as exception.
Try VPN and custom DNS.
Check torrent speeds.
