How does my ISP (that has an offer on data only for a specific website) know that I am using the internet for that specific website and not others?

Extremly simplified: your isp is your connection to the outer web, when you request Google.com, they see a request to that website. This is because the https encryption (the little “secure” padlock in the top left corner) doesn’t kick in until after you complete the handshake, and you can’t complete this handshake without first requesting, so up until that point your isp can see the data you’re sending
