How do I get him to stop throwing food or potching?
Saying “no” in a stern voice just does not work. He doesn’t care.
I also tried taking away a toy but he just forgets about it after 5 seconds.

Redirect him
Throwing food- meal is over
Potching- remove from situation

He’s a baby. Love him, hold him, laugh at his antics. You’ll have plenty time to worry about this in the future.

The only thing I can think of at that age is to ignore behavior you want to stop. They want to get a reaction from you but if you don't react it won't be fun for them anymore.

Normal behavior for this age so just move him out of the high chair so he doesn't throw out.
Finish bathing him and take him out of the bath if he's splashing
Moral of the story you can't and shouldn't to discipline (in a stern voice for sure not) this age. Remove them from the situation is it's bothering you but it's normal behavior for a one and half year old.

Don't.
I recently read in a parenting book no discipline under age 2. Only love! I love that!

With confidence that he’ll grow out of it. Whatever he’s doing isn’t from a lack of discipline, but just age appropriate behaviors.
Your best tools for now are distracting and redirecting.

He’s really almost 2. Also, I feel like he can understand and learn things. For example, he knows “first supper, then cookie” or “first you clean up the toy, then take another one”. He really thrives on structure, he loves learning things and where everything goes. I don’t think I am a harsh parent at all. I just don’t want him to hit me or throw food.

I had similar. Very bright child, understood exactly what they were doing
Part of it was preemptively avoiding the situation- not serving them yogurt unless I was spoonfeeding them- and part of it was repetition and them removing them from the situation. We made a rule: run to the door if mommy opens the oven. And then when I said, I'm going to open the oven! What's the rule? The first few times they ran right to the oven. I took them by the hand to the door
After enough times they were so proud of how they knew to run to the door

Today's mitzvah in Sefer Hamitzvos! Lifnei Iver Lo Sitein Michshol.
If your child is in a throwing mood, leaving him in front of toys or food is Lifnei Iver. He may have awareness, but impulse control comes with maturity.
