Then [it's back to] studying all day.

Then it's back to studying all day.

I have the feeling here "is" means "come," but I can't understand what "it" means.
And so I'd like to know what two words mean.

No, the sentence is talking about the future. "It" is a dummy in that sentence. Paraphrase: (I) will get get back to studying all day.

it's back to - ing / it's on to -ing are opposites. These idioms have to do with going "back" or going "forward" to do some activity. When you go back, you return to some activity that you were doing earlier; when you go forward, you go on to some new activity.
