Semrush told you it's competitive, so how can we say it's easy. But it's possible you can rank for the keyword if you do good onpage seo and write helpful content around that keyword and get some good links pointing to it.

It's an aged domain, but I bought it last year for creating an e-commerce website. And I created the website via wordpress, but there is no any articles on the website.

The difficulty score is not 100% reliable. What should determine whether ranking for said keyword is easy or not, is the strength of the sites dominating page 1.
How strong are they, how optimized are the sites and how much their ranking pages meet the search intent.

Ranking for a keyword with a difficulty score of 36 on Semrush is not too easy, but it's also not extremely hard. Your success will depend on how good your content is, the number and quality of backlinks, and how competitive that keyword is in your niche.

Create high-quality content and build backlinks from high-quality websites. Focus on building backlinks from websites that are relevant to your industry and have good traffic and authority.

It seems difficult. You have to check manually how strong the websites which are on 1st page.

it's not easy to rank on those numbers if you start with a fresh domain, but if yours have some good metrics you'll rank. With mine I'm ranking normally between 20 and 50, always try to update the difficulty number because its usually outdated.

Depends on the site you are working with, most of the clients I work with or have worked with I would consider keyword difficulty at that level a nice easy one to get. However it depends on your domain authority you currently have and budget you have to work with.

It seems like the top one website is a consulting company, but our website is an e-commerce website

Does that mean I need to analyze all of the websites on the first page? Such as DA, PA, back links, etc?

Yes that way you can get idea what kind of backlink profile is working for your target keyword.
Also consider the age and authority of the top ranking pages.
You will at most times need to mimic what those pages are doing with their website, content structure, backlinks etc.
