Guys, my chain has been “skipping” or catching on specific gears. I am an absolute amateur and wanted your opinion before I take the bike to the local shop

yeah – that cassette will eat chains..
A lot of the time it’s hard to tell a cassette is worn by visually looking – it’s the skipping and shifting that informs. However, I have found chatgpt excellent for cassette and chainring wear and is something I use now
I would take it to your local bike shop they can check the chain pretty quickly and rule that out if needed. If not get a chain checking tool online
Throw a new chain on, and if that doesn’t fix it then I’d swap out the cassette next. The teeth don’t look too worn but sometimes the rings can get slightly bent which throws the whole thing off.
Cleaning the cassette will help.
