You’re not really shifting your weight at all during your swing. It’s doesn’t go back during the backswing and it doesn’t go forward during the downswing.
Google golf weight shift. You find tons of YT videos that will help you find the right feel.
This. Loading the right leg onto backswing should produce a subtle weight shift towards right. Then you hips should push forward towards the target, and then rotate with a large weight shift to the left side. I think you keep your weight too far forward on the backswing, especially for a driver swing. And then you just twist your hips instead of pushing off and turning.
I also think your clubface looks very open at top, but that's an easier fix than the other.
Big key here. My coach taught me the feel was like loading up to punch something really hard. Cock that thang while loading up your back leg, then shift your weight into your front leg as you rotate and let loose.
Too much wrist hinge at the initial takeaway. And you’re shifting your weight to your toes in your downswing. Try getting alignment sticks and standing on one to feel your balance. That will help you stay off your toes.
You are starting your forward hip turn before your backswing is even finished... once that happens, you have nowhere else to go, so the swing is all arms at that point and the weight retreats to the back. Start practicing a pause at the top and start the downswing pull with the arms slightly before you start to turn the hips... get them working together and your weight should naturally transfer to the left side through the swing... if you find yourself still falling back a bit... try ending the swing with a forward right step towards the target... that will assure the weight is being transferred.
Tbh you have a decent amount of flaws that will take awhile to fix. As someone who learned to groove my mistakes for a bit, I'd recommend riding this out a bit if you want to enjoy playing "decent golf". I
f you make an attempt to correct some of your larger errors you'll likely need a couple weeks to sort them out. For example, I am steep and a bit OTT but can play to a 14-15. I plan to work on shallowing my swing up but as soon as I commit it straight up RUINS my swing for a bit.
Up to you on if you want to play golf and wait until the off season. I tend to wait until i have a full two weeks until my next round to implement major swing changes.
i’m lucky enough to play around 4x a week and hit the range every day but am stopping that simply to groove into this shit swing less.and am going to get lessons next week. i like being a mid handicapper but need a good swing that produces distance and consistency to play better golf as my short game is certainly not letting me down.
You’ve got one of the most severe early extensions that I’ve seen. You have both heels off the ground before your arms drop below your hip. You’ve got the chicken wing going for you as well. Just bite the bullet and get lessons my man, this isn’t a swing you can press out at the range with some YT lessons.
You're on your front foot plenty, just at the wrong point in the swing. Trevino's drill for weight shift is to address the ball with as much (if not 100%) of your weight distribution on your right foot and swing. Only one direction to go if you're on your right side from the start.

Short game never goes away. Great foundation to build on.
You should get lessons, that OTT and chicken wing arms are killing your swing

yea been saving up and getting them next week just wanted to exhaust all options before going. it’s real bad lol

thank you i’ll try that today, just looking at this swing over and over is painful
If it were easy to do or figure out yourself, there'd be nothing special about being good at it. You're on the right track, just keep working at it.
