still waiting for Uni offers

I applied to LSE KCL and UCL back in October for psychology, however I still haven't heard back from any of them yet and it is stressing me out. My counselor said that it's because I am currently on the waitlist and they are waiting for other people to reject their offers first. Is that true? also should I be worried about how long they are taking?

From https://www.ucas.com/undergraduate/after-you-apply/types-offer/replying-your-ucas-undergraduate-offers
‘If you receive your last decision on or before 16 May 2024, your reply date is 6 June 2024 (except if you're using Extra to find a place).’
16/5/24 is the deadline for university to send offers.

Hang on on there. The fact that you have not been rejected yet means you are borderline for an offer, and therefore you could get offers. Yes, its stressful/frustrating but there is nothing you can do to influence any of this. And there are thousands of other folk out there who are in exactly the same position. Most Unis will try to make these last decisions well before the deadline, but yes, some could go to the wire.
