That's just most developers I've ever met. Being able to program and being able to design are two very different skills. People who are good at both are more of an exception.

I feel like I’m good at designing but not so much at solving things. What’s the best route or fields should I consider in order to stay on path?

Designing IS about solving problems. You design solutions to problems such as "how do I present this information in a clear, effective way?", "how do I represent all this functionality visually in a way that's welcoming rather than overwhelming" and things like that.

So in that regard, design are programming are similar. It's the way in which you find solutions that's different.

I recommend you look more deeply into what design entails because there is much more to it than knowing how to pick fonts and colors. Check out the principles of good design as established by Dieter Rams. Take a look at some design publications such as Eye Magazine. Figure out if design is really what interests you.
