Merging isolines into polygons in QGIS, building an isochrone map

There is a set of isolines produced with v.net.iso.

It shows distances in meteres [400, 800, 1200, and everything further] from a certain point.

isochrones

My desired output is an Isochrone map. However, I do not know yet how to merge/aggregate isolines into polygons, where each isoline located exactly in a proper polygon with no overlaps etc. Better to say I want to draw an outline from the most far points of each isoline class. What is the best approach?

I have tried:

  1. extracting nodes from lines Vector > Geometry Tools > Extract nodes, filtering with a certain isoline class, and then Vector > Geometry Tools > Concave Hull.
  2. deploying QGIS plugin, namely QGIS-ConcaveHull-Plugin.

Both outputs are represented on the image below, numbered appropriately. But there is a problem, nodes from the higher-class isoline group overlap the lower-class isoline group. Maybe I have to try some raster output?

I have seen these articles but nothing spectacular:
