Agree with most of the above, aero helmet can buy you
5-7 watts depending on the helmet you have vs the helmet you get.
GP5000 and latex tubes will make a difference total of possibly 10 or so.
Even if you can't find that flat dust cap, you can always change the stem to one with more drop.
How clean is your drivetrain?
Not sure what power meter you are using, but drivetrain losses if you don't have a clean drive train with a top shelf lube ( see friction facts ) Also, sure about your power meter calibration? It reading high could explain a bit too.
Tire pressure, google silca tire pressure calculator for an idea on optimal pressure for your weight and measured tire width ( measured, not just what the stamp on the side says )
This can all add up to a lot.
Your power to speed is pretty close to what mine is on my road bike, and you get slightly higher mywindsock numbers than I get when I'm riding low and aggressive on my road bike.
I'd actually be interested in seeing what you could do with an aero helmet, GP5000, latex tubes, optimal tire pressure, and then get in the drops, bend the elbows, get low, and see how fast you can go at similar power output, and compare comfort as well.
