My domain name is the only thing ranking on my site.

Instead of the post title to rank, my domain homepage and it's description ranks instead.

My domain usually rank at the end of search results, That is if the article is very easy KD.

Is this Google update?
I just started this blog a month ago

With 4 article and a 1 month old blog you are still in sandbox and google don't trust you. Publish 60 to 100 articles and them check where your stand. Get them all indexed and add your site to gsc.
 
Were you ranking for targeted keywords. I doubt it is possible to rank for desired keywords in one month. If there is already no ranking, what impact is possible from Google update?

New content are not ranking, it only rank my homepage instead of post page
 
Focus on quality content
SEO for individual posts to improve ranking
Monitor industry changes update.
 
Google updates affect everybody, whether it's new blogs or old and established sites because it changes the ranking factors.

You have a new blog, so it will take a while for your posts to start appearing on SERPs. You are going thru what is known as Google Dance. Thats why people use expired domains sometimes. Keep writing, and with some luck, you will make it
 
Only 4 articles on your site? Publish more high quality articles (100-150)
Then submit your site to Google Search Console.
Install rank math seo plugin.
Optimize all the content.
Do interlinking.
Do social sharing (Quora, Reddit, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, Gab, Medium)

Build authority of you (Basically author EEAT)

Hope Google will love your site.

No, it doesnt work that way. While the domain is in sandbox, almost all the posts will nor appear. But as you continue writing, and with time, they should.

Regarding Expired Domains, well, i cnt tell the quality of what you bought, but people buy it for this exact readon - to skip Google Sandbox. So for you to remain in sandbox, it caan only mean you bought something bad
 
It can affect any blog even if it has only 4 posts. Suppose you were able to rank a blog with only 4 posts , you may loose rankings because of the update.
 
There is no recent update like this but a closer explanation of this is in Google's Sep 2023 "helpful content update" and it might be applying on your website now as it is new. In helpful content update Google said, they generate a site-wide signal for a website with checking the value of overall content present in the website. So if your website do not have much helpful content then its articles can find difficulty in rankings. So you should work on both - publishing more posts, and adding value in your content.

You just have to publish more high quality articles.
 
Every Google update can potentially impact your blog, regardless of its age or content size.
