I’d look into restoring intra-abdominal pressure (which involves rib position and proper breathing technique), flat back, anterior pelvic tilt, rounded shoulder, forward head. Find Venus_Gabby. Conor Harris, and Zac Cupples on YouTube and start learning, doing exercises, and paying very close attention to how your body feels and moves. It will take time and effort but not the “go hard” kind of effort -- patience and focus kind of effort. It is not a quick fix.
Were you an athlete at all? Baseball pitcher, weight lifter, swimmer… ? Your flat back presentation could be an extensor lock compensation which is common in former athletes. I had that for decades and am now relaxing it.

No I never played any sports, I was into the arts growing up, but this is most likely from sedentary lifestyle

Anterior upper ribcage compression Posterior ribcage compression Pelvis in external rotation Pelvic floor not receiving the guts downwards (compression from bottom up)
That's what I can tell from this photo. The gaze looking down in both photos contradict the lack of a kyphotic presentation, which makes it double layered and masked.

What do you mean by double layered and masked

It means that you are most likely hunching over but the back being flat is a compression that is masking the hunch.
When decoding a postural or movement issue, we need to take the element of time and adaptation over that time into consideration. I'm just throwing a guesstimation here, a snapshot in time without understanding your movement in detail is a guesstimate at best.

APT, slight forward head, and rib flare at least.
