Depends on your mobility, strength, and recovery. Given how you asked the question though, I don't think you'll manage to do it in 3 months without hurting yourself.

It depends, your baseline flexibility and age are a factor.
Couple of years ago i did bridges after every training session and managed to get decent results, was even able to do "reverse" push ups.
Stopped doing bridges and now i regressed to the starting point, so you need to be consistent and increase the difficulty of the exercise as you progress.
The end point isn't being able to back arch, your goal should be to do circles with your head as a fulcrum.

They're very simple. I'm not flexible.

The right coach can have you doing them in one practice

there is also a difference between being able to mechanically perform a back bridge solo and having the confidence to launch someone once you get to the position. You really need to practice throwing with a dummy and with people too.
yeah before i go to the wrestling college ucf n orlando i wana have some fundamental body movements down so i dont annoy them when drilling certain moves
would you recommend me anything else movement wise to work on by myself?
yes but 1 step at a time i need to get my body to do the movement right first
like baseball you have to throw strikes before you throw heat or any junk ball pitches

Bridges, wall walks, assisted back arches, kick overs
You're over thinking a very simple movement. Stand with you back facing a wall, roughly 3ft away from it.
Look straight up and back until you start falling and then catch yourself on the wall with your hands.
After a few times, try to catch yourself on the walk lower and lower. You should be able to make some improvements after a couple of minutes doing this.
