For an iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 12.5.1 is the highest possible.

For your current iPhone 6 plus iOS, 12.5.1 is the highest possible update available for your device. If you wish to buy a new iPhone and want the new device to have the most current software, I would recommend buying an iPhone X and up from there as these newer phones will continue to be compatible with the new software for the next few years, whereas if you buy a 7 or an 8, they will be looking to lose support in the coming years as new updates are released out.
