Unfortunately, my chest is very flat, so I wanna know a few exercises to get a bigger chest quickly.

Nothing can isolate the chest as much as pec deck.
Any type of pressing (bench, dumbell or machine) will get the triceps and front delts involved; they are powerlifting movements, not optimal for hypertrophy.

Would incline bench press or a low.to high fly be better?

You would be able to move heavier weights with those movements because more muscles are working, but the tension on your pecs would be the same as doing strict pec deck

For a bigger chest u should focus mostly on the sternocostal which is mid/lower chest

The best exercise is by far the pec deck, add one more upper chest movement like a db incline bench and you should get good results

substance like roids and a chest press but make sure you get your lower chest aswell as upper
