Generally with bathtubs its hair that's the problem. You will want to get into the drain using something like a wire coat hanger to thoroughly clean it out.
Oftentimes in a tub there is a clog from hair. I would try to snake it out with a tool like this:https://www.hometalk.com/diy/clean/bathroom/how-to-unclog-a-sink-or-tub-5709840
And then flush it with vinegar and water.

Do you have a shop vac? I use that to suck up a clogged drain.
Pour 1/2 a box of baking soda down it then 1 cup of white vinager leave for 20 min then pour boiling water down the drain if still clogged repeat.
Pour baking soda down the drain. Heat up some white vinegar till boiling point. Pour down the drain. Let sit, then pour boiling water down the drain.
Hi, Estrella.bonilla08!
there is a little tool that is actually a long piece of plastic with barbs on the sides used for removing hair that gets trapped in the drain. It is extremely inexpensive and can be found in most discount stores or home improvement stores. I thinks it's called Zip-it... I hope this helps!
Cut little notches on a long plastic drinking straw and lower it into the drain. Lift it up and you will see lots of things attached that were clogging it...repeat several times.
Thank you so much for your help. It really worked 😀
