Tips for a beginner?

I (M) am 20 yrs old & I literally have 0 knowledge about being a music producer but I'm willing to learn. I looked up online what software most people use and It found out it's FL STUDIO. Do you have any tips for a beginner so I can learn everything as soon as possible? I wanna make my own beat before the end of this year. Should I learn music theory & stuff? Where do just start?
