My hobbies is toare reading and to playing games.

I like to stay inside home more than begoing outside.

In English, we can say: "I like staying in"
--> we know that it means "inside the home"

例:
Arisaさん, do you want to come out for dinner tonight?
No thanks, I'm going to stay in.

But, I do like to travel and se, experience new cultures and meet new people!

I also like to go bicyclout on a bike sometimes, and relax and think about nothing while riding.

Corrected version:
【I saw your profile and notice that you live in Scotland! I travelled to Edinburgh last summer and it was beautiful! so so much history! i loved it!!!】

I also love Edinburgh. It's perhaps my favourite city.
すごい!私もEdinburgh好きています!一番の好きな市は多分だ。

You should definitely write some posts about your trip to Scotland. I would love to read about a Japanese person's impression.
Arisaさんにポストを書きほしったいです。

【 "staying in" is only for home?】
That's right! You can think of as a short-version of "staying at home".

"What are you doing tonight?"
"I'm staying in" (lit: I'm staying inside my house)

"Did you do anything at the weekend?"
"Not really, I stayed in and played the Switch"

【I want to also know why Switch is big letter!】
"Big letters" are called "capital letters" in English grammar.

Switch needs a capital letter because it is a "proper noun". Basically, anything that is a "name" of a place, a person, brand etc. in English, needs to be capitalized.

Tokyo. Japan. Switch. Lummers. Pokemon. Langcorrect. Nintendo. Cup Noodle (the brand). Family Mart. Imabari. Uniqlo. Ishiba-san. McDonalds. Japan Airlines.

These words should *always* be capitalized.

If you search something like "proper nouns, capital letters, English grammar", you should find lots of resources.

My hobbies is toare reading and to playing video games.

It's more common in this case to use noun phrases rather than infinitives.

I like to staying inside the home more than being outside.

A definite article is required between "inside" and "home". Though I have no idea why, as I'm not a linguist.

But, I do like to travel and see new cultures and meet new people!

Or you can say "I read novels a lot", which is slightly more formal. But your formulation is less obtrusive among modern, casual usage.

And isI'm also a good cooking!

I cook good Japanese food!

Plural mistake, as is in your very first sentence.

"obtrusive" can be defined here as "showy" or "undesirably obvious". I said that because the expression "a lot of" is traditionally used only in the sense of amounts that are not easily countable — e.g. "a lot of popcorn", "a lot of rubbish". A large collection of easily countable objects (books in your case) is traditionally only referred to using "many".

So the "correct" phrase according to tradition would be either "I read many novels" (meaning that you read a large number of novels) or "I read novels a lot" (meaning that you read novels very frequently, with "a lot" functioning as an adverbial attribute, signifying that you frequently repeat the action of reading). However, they sound unnecessarily archaic to me — you'll be obtrusive if you say that in a casual setting. That's what I meant by "obtrusive". "I read lot of novels" is probably way more common than "I read many novels".
