'dazu' and 'diesbezüglich' can both refer back to a topic that has already been mentioned. 'dazu' is very normal and flexible in everyday language: for example, you ask for an opinion about something or say something on a topic. 'diesbezüglich' also means 'in relation to this matter', but it sounds much more formal. You are more likely to find it in emails, letters, administrative contexts, or at work. The words can be confused because they both refer to something mentioned earlier. In conversations, 'dazu' usually sounds more natural; in factual or official texts, 'diesbezüglich' can fit well.
