I've been in the same role for a long time now -- I'm getting worried that my skills are stagnating and that I won't be able to make a move when the time comes. How do you keep yourself marketable and make sure your skills are still fresh?

1-Get new skills: especially on the new BTP platform/all cloud related products. If you are more on the functional side, I would highly recommend to get some technical skills like basic abap and Fiori related topics (catalogs, group, tile, autorisation, service)
2-Get certified (if you are at a company than can sponsor you, even better)
3-Always get latest news about SAP products. Even if you are not expert in the functionalities, you will be able to take part in discussions around new solutions for potential new deals etc. Still a bonus from a “reputation” pov when you are in a team / partner meeting.
