This is likely going to involve a Loft. There are a lot of controls (guides, paths, end conditions, etc) to experiment with, but our docs and other learning resources should point you in the right direction.

Probably not the easiest way to start learning Onshape. But it can be done one way or another. Hard to say which way is best with just one obscured view. Might I suggest exporting from tinkercad in a format that can be read by Onshape? Not familiar with tinkercad export options. Just doesn’t make sense to reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to.

these could also just be two cylindrical cuts with a big blend in between. hard to tell from just this picture.
you could import the tinkercad model and share your trials on this thread to get some more detailed help (share the document publicly)

Create a duplicate of that part studio, then move the duplicate studio to its own document and share that document.
