Hi Karim,
I think in general it is better to return the centre ball with your forehand or your stronger stroke. If the ball strays long then if you are ready on your forehand side, you will be ready to attack.
Without regular practice, it is difficult to keep your level. We have a lesson on Practicing Alone. This will show you some ideas of what to do when you can't find a practice partner. A lot of these things are basic but something there may be useful.
It is good to do some physical training as well. Take a look at our blog on Weight Training Specifically for Table Tennis and Strength Conditioning for Table Tennis. This will give you some more ideas of what to do.
