Staking ethereum. Nice and straight answer please

I have enough eth for a validator but I’m not super technical or have the funds to start a rocket pool one. I just want a straight answer, I don’t want to create a taxable event by selling eth and buying weth. I have a trezor and ledger, what’s the best way to stake eth and keep a hold of my own keys? I have lost about 50% of my coins from centralized custodians, so I need to hold my own keys and I’m terrified of transferring these out. I will be needing 100% of all the eth by December btw
