You can cheat by using engine help, like 1 out of 4 players here do. Just make sure to do some weak human moves during each game, and loose on purpose some times, in order to not Get banned for cheating. As you cheat your way up to gm levels, you can argue that the engine cheat-help is for learning purpose only. Then you can learn much, as the cheaters tell themselves. After you have reached rating above 2500 you can be really proud.

few problems -
1. you are completely wrong in the first 15 words you make, like what proof do you have that 25% of players cheat? like what they defeated a GM? defeated you with 15 ACPL? you accuse them without any proof? you play blitz and are rated 2000, the percentage of cheaters at that low of a level(no offense, but cheaters are probably gonna aim for atleast 2400)is probably closer 0.025%, not to mentions the amount of cheaters are much lower in blitz with respect to say classical, which i play regularly, i get a rating refund like every 3 months
2.I strongly think lichess or even che$$.com would detect players playing perfectly for 75% of the time and make a blunder 25% of the time, or basically 6 ACPL till move 15, then a mistake, then 4 ACPL for the rest of the game, normal people would have a many inaccuracies, some mistakes, and a few blunders
3.how do you learn from a engine completely crushing a human?
4.how do you suggest someone cheats without a single person suspecting them OTB?
so in conclusion you are (probably and hopefully) not serious.

Know this is a trolling thread but these days, if this question does not come from a minimum 8 year old. It is probably impossible.
Nor advantageous. I make more money than the vast majority of GM's. It is vastly underpaid. 21+ learn poker.

All of that still doesn't answers the question how to achieve the GM title. At least he or she for 100% sure will not get it on lichess, regardless of his/her rating or cheating abilities...
Have fun!

Conpete in FIDE rated tournaments.
Also, there are ways to get GM title:
Reaching the final 16 in a FIDE World Cup
Winning the World Senior Championship outright, both in the 50+ and 65+ divisions
Winning a Continental (e.g. Pan American, European, Asian or African) championship
