OP - The best way to avoid vices is to avoid their near occasions, even concerning little things. "Pes meus stetit in directo"(my foot hath stood in the straight way) says the psalmist. Do likewise.

What are the best and most effective methods for conquering the sin of lust and masturbation, pornography, impure thoughts, etc?

Jesus and all your ancestors are watching you.
When you see a woman in porn, think of the Blessed Mother,
who was a woman.
When you see a depiction of a man in pornogrpahy, think
of Jesus, who was a man.

Learn how to detest pornography. It is your enemy.
Put your efforts into finding a righteous spouse.
In the meantime, if you must masturbate, do so in your bed,
with no pornography. Be in tune to your goals of life.

Masturbation is a sin and almost always a mortal sin. Why would you offer advice that could send someone to hell?

Masturbation is a mortal sin making one worthy of Hell. What kind of advice is that? Learn your Faith.

Realize (and always remember) that you can't hide from God, He can see you, so can your guardian angel. One has to forget God exists to self abuse themselves, it's a kin to doing it in front of your parents, while thinking you are invisible.

I don't like the use of the word "m", Catholics should use language that can be spoken around anyone (mixed company, younger men, children), use impure touching, abuse oneself. Another example, Sodomites are impure men.
