So.. I've been training like a year and a half now and I started at 68 kilos (about 150lbs). I'm 192cm tall (6'3) so i was very skinny. Now i'm 87 kilos (about 191lbs). I was skinny guy who played a lot of computer games and obviously I was sitting a lot. So i was skinny guy with terrible posture.
At first I didn't want to squat because it felt so hard. After 2-3months I started squatting and I thought that I was doing it right. Well I wasn't. Now I've been trying to improve my squatting technique for like a 6 months and haven't succeeded. I really do need help. I've watched so much youtube videos but I just can't get it right. My technique is still horrible. I don't even want to explain it, you can see it on the video.
TL: DR help me squat, i have videos but I don't know if I want to put them here. So is someone willing to help me if I DM my squat videos to you? Sorry for the long message. I'm 193cm tall (6'3).
EDIT: I'm 17 years old, not 47.

Your squat looks fine, man. Good depth with your hip going below your knee, and your lower back stays neutral. Show a vid where you squat more weight and it will be easier to see problems.
Do your knees track over your feet? Would a wider stance help with your ankles?

The bar is moving in a vertical line over your mid-foot, which is what you want. Also, your hips don't push back, which means you're driving the weight up with your legs, as you should. You're tall, with a long torso and long legs, so this makes you lean forward naturally. What's important is that you keep your lower back neutral during the lift, as you do.
Again, form looks good.
