I bought a Lenovo LOQ with an Intel i5 and RTX 3050 about a year ago, but now it's really slow. It takes a minute just to boot up. What can I do to improve its performance and get it back to the efficiency I had when I first got it?

If you're open to it, switching to Linux can sometimes help with performance issues, especially on older hardware. Just be sure to back up your data first!
Make sure to run a full scan with Malwarebytes. Sometimes, slow performance is due to malware. You can also check the Task Manager for any background apps that are using up your resources. If everything seems fine, you might want to reinstall Windows using a USB drive.
Have you tried installing updates using Lenovo Vantage? It's a good first step. You should also check the Task Manager to disable unnecessary startup apps that may be bogging down your boot time.
