Hi, I found an IP5306 - more properly a FM5324GA - based module from a local provider. I couldn’t find a manufacturer link but this is an Aliexpress equivalent. It does exactly what I needed given @grobasoz input. You connect a 1s LiPo battery to couple of terminals, and the load to another pair and it provides 5V to the load and charging through a USB C port.
Gadget working perfectly.
Thank you very much.
