The route to my workplace has a lot of ups and downs on the way and it may be because I’m a beginner but the climbing sections are really tiring and I’m struggling to get up the hills. Any advice?

Yes. Climb more hills. It’s that simple.
I’m 62 and didn’t get serious about riding until I was in my late 50s. This year I started doing a hill day with a group. Just repeatedly climbing and descending the same hill via different routes for about an hour and a half.
First time was terrible. Now there is only one very steep route that I stress about but even that has gotten faster. That’s after only 8 weeks of once a week climbing.
Good luck.
