Well all the other gears are fine, also seems to be okay after running for some time like 20 mins or so.

Simple way to tell if it's the clutch: Start it up, then without sitting on it put it into 1st gear. As your weight isn't on the bike the chain will have some slack. If it bounces when put into gear the clutch is dragging. Another way to tell is to remove the clutch from the equation completely and change up without it and see if things are any smoother.
