The question is in the title. One thing I should mention is that this problem does not exist on macOS or Windows.
I am not using any specific app. Just the built in L2TP client of Android.

thats normal you are connected to a different network when you use a VPN , and isolated from your Lan
The question is in how your VPN client is configured. You want to use split tunneling if available in your case, so you can tell the phone to put local traffic to the local network but forward everything else to your VPN provider. Looking at my own phone and its native VPN client (it is Android 9, and manufacturers can customize these things, so your mileage may vary), I don’t know that it supports split tunneling, but it’s worth looking in your phone to see if it does. If it doesn’t, just look for an app that supports it; it sounds like your provider does at least.
One caveat, in looking quickly just now to see if I could find a reference do the native app supporting split tunneling, I saw at least one app/service that advertised split tunneling, but implements it by allowing you to select apps that bypass the VPN while others go through it. This may work for, say, a printer app, but if you want Chrome to be able to pull up Internet sites and also manage your router’s management interface, that’s not the kind of split tunneling you are looking for.
