I am quite new to the realm of powerlifting, I have been lifting for almost two years now, and have declared myself a powerlifter roughly 3-4 months ago after chasing both strength and aesthetics. This week at my local gym they were holding the big 3 competition(Squat, Bench, Deadlift) and so I participated. The only issue I had was that they didn't check weight but thankfully I knew my exact weight because the day before I had a bod pod reading. My stats are as follows:
Age: 21
Height: 5'6 (66in)
Weight: 165.912
Fat Free Mass: 140.732
BF: 15.2%
And my recorded lifts were:
Squat: 385
Bench: 265 (Failed first attempt @255, failure to properly pause at chest, second attempt solid).
Deadlift: 455(New PR from 425)
Total: 1105
My question is am I on the right track, is there any advice you can give? I feel like i'm descent enough to compete, but quite honestly I lack the confidence to just jump into it since i'm fairly new to it.
Thank you.

Hard to say whether you are on the right track bc we don't know what your track is.
You have very good numbers for your body weight so if nothing else, you are off to s good start.
In terms of getting on a track, get on a program that works for you and get after it.
In 6 months after you have dedicated yourself to a program, come back with new numbers and then your "track" can be judged.
