Ican get hammer for this but
I wouldnt go that deep with that kinda weight if you want to keep your knees breaking parallel is enough going lower will relax your hamstrings and put all the weight on your knees.
Stop when you break parallel that will keep muscle under tention. I would practcie sitting on a box, your knees are to far in front your toes, spread feet a little might help that. But bodyweight box squats will help focus leaning on your heels to where your toes almost come off the ground then when you add weight it should feel good balance pushing off with heels somewhat but keeping feet flat just have to keep doign it. I cant tell but you should be thurshing hips foward contracting your glutes on the way up. Show ya chest off keep it up high looking up wil help but you dont have too. Just my thoughts but keep squating only way to fix yourself.

His knees being too far in front of his toes isn't an issue. The balance of the bar itself is what's too far forward. The bar needs to remain aligned over midfoot. If this entails knees going way out in front, then that's fine.

Nice deep squat. I am only a beginner but it looks good to me. Comment on mine if you can.

For a second there I thought I read something about "entrails going out." Thought to myself "that is some serious core tightness..."

But yeah, agreed. The only symptom I see going on there for the most part is the hips raising up slightly quicker than the shoulders for a moment. Doesn't get all crazy out of whack or anything, and I bet the slight misalignment has a lot to do with it.

Well, that's just plain wrong. As long as his weight stays back off his toes, knees going forward is not an issue. Nor is losing hamstring tension an issue... loading the hamstrings is a concept that goes with low bar squats and other "powerlifter"-style squats. This is more of an Olympic squat.

Is your heel coming off the ground? Hard to tell with black socks/floor

Point your elbows down and your core won't lean forward when you come out the hole.

Keep your head up.

I'd bet by doing these 2 things (and drop the weight a little while you get used to these 2 things), a lot of other issues will be solved.

Your foot position and depth look solid.

You look like you have the strength to go far, you just need to clean up the technique.

my heels do come off the ground when im using lower weight and doing it explosively, happens at the top when i explode. sort of like a slight calf raise after the lock out. my heels stays on the ground at the bottom though

thanks guys for the responses!
