I have been trying to push my changed code to GitHub repo via VScode, it works on GitHub desktop but Source Control tab on Vscode is showing clock symbol forever. Then I do it via GitHub desktop again, but Source Control clock symbol never disappers till I close the application and open it again. Does anybody have a solution as to why is it behaving like this?

I had the same problem. Somehow the tracked branch from vscode and the branch I checked out with git in the cli were different.

I could solve the issue by changing the branch in the UI of vscode by clicking on the branch and setting the correct one. I also restarted vscode.

Additionally: make sure you have excluded large folders with small files from git in your '.gitignore' file. E.g. This may happen when you haven't excluded your 'node_modules' folder from version control.

Dont you by chance have the authentication window opened in the background or another monitor?

When I trigger the git commit keyboard shortcut, a COMMIT_EDITMSG window pops up. During this, the source control continues to load indefinitely until that window is closed.

if you are trying to commit your files and vscode stay loading and open COMMIT_EDITMSG, you might be missing a commit message.

Simply write some thing in COMMIT_EDITMSG (not in the lines with #) and save it, or just close COMMIT_EDITMSG and add your message on top of the commit button.
