I’ve found the best way to keep a novella short is to compress the time. If the story takes place over a few days or weeks rather than years with several wars thrown in, it more easily fits the novella length.

I’ve written quite a few novels across the romance subgenre and am self-publishing the reverted rights. So years of novels behind me. I’ve written a few novellas and they are really hard to keep the word count down.
But recently I’ve tried a short story for myself and they are really hard, if you’re a 400 ms pager.
