I have this table of times here and I want to convert these CST Times to the users time zone. I also want to change the table header based on the users time zone while matching the header format in the below image.

You can have the time zone offset in minutes using the following. For me, it returns -120. For the header text, a simple function like this could do the job:

function getHeaderText() {
  const yourTimezone = new Date().getTimezoneOffset();
  const plusMinus = yourTimezone >= 0 ? "+" : "-";
  const utcOffset = plusMinus + Math.abs(yourTimezone / 60);
  const timezoneName = Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone;
  return `Your time zone is set to UTC${utcOffset} (${timezoneName}).`;
}

console.log(getHeaderText());

If you want to play with time I also recommend you to check out JsJoda: https://js-joda.github.io/js-joda/
