When using a stud finder it is imperative that you first point it at yourself, wait for the beep, and say, "Yep, it's working." Many jobs have failed because this step was omitted.
so to make as few holes as possible, get a piece of 3/4 plywood cut to the size of the mount, screw the plywood into the stud with some beafy lags, attach the mount to the plywood and hang your tv

Snap Toggle Bolts. They hold around 250lbs anchored in drywall. Also, you have studs, but backer board & drywall will make finding them hard

By code there are studs...by code..soo

I wouldn't swear this house was built to code.

Not worth it.
Find a stud or just set it on top of a bookcase.

Update, there is a stud, it's (unsurprisingly) on the line where all the holes are drilled, but they caused the stud finder to "bump" & miss

I would use a “TV Mount”.

It appears the entire wall is made of studs

Wall planks will hold screws.
aslum
Yeah, but will they hold a TV mount and 40lbs of TV?
lostwalllet
Let us know…
qldonfireunderwater
Yeah, but what’s holding the wall planks up… brads ?
