Re-do with a level bike. Pedaling at FTP ish. You’re sitting on your bike like it’s a road bike. Get forward and lower. But still, re-do with your bike level.
Thanks for the feedback. Sorry about the bike not being level.
My seat is in the front hole and push most of the way forward. I could possibly get 6mm more forward and that is about it. I might be able to sit further forward on the actual seat.
Any thoughts on seat too high or low?
You should sit on the front part of your seat, not the rear. This then allows you to rotate your pelvis forward and get a more effective back angle and it opens up your hip angle. That’s what I mean when I say that you sit on it like it’s a road bike. Saddle looks a bit low to me, but I’m relatively inexperienced with fitting.

You’re right; I COULD be a dick, but choose not to usually. You rarely make that choice.
I see you’re in the mood for Halloween.

can you advise how exactly advising someone to train will help them with their position on the bike?
OP: your fit is a bit all over. your head down like that when you ride. there is no way you will ride like this, if you were to put on your aero helmet you wing would be sticking out like a shark fin. back can be flatter, maybe push the seat back a bit, raise it a tad and take out a few spacers. that would be where i’d start.

What you suggest as a solution will do the opposite of what you say is the problem.
OP - don’t do this.

Agree with the need to get the cadence up. Something funky going on with your R leg. You abduct your hip at the top and you are in a adducted postion for most of your pedal cadence just looks a little funky might just be technique. I assume you are right hand dominant? Might just be you mashing on this side with a weak gluteus medius causing you to pinch your knee in.
Hard to see where your back will end up when you bring your head to a normal position. Stretch your pecs (corner or doorway stretch to start) as well and let that chest drop.
So many people post to get a fit critique, looks like you can afford to get a proper bike fit from a F.I.S.T. certified fitter. There are a lots of people on ST. with good advice but also lots with, well, not so good advice. Truth is you get what you pay for. Look up the nearest certified F.I.S.T. fitter to you and make an appointment.
Good luck’
