Anterior pelvic tilt question: if I am starting to train for intentionally strengthening my core/glutes/low back/ hamstrings for the first time would bulking help?

I have an anterior pelvic tilt and it bothers me a lot. The past few weeks I've been at maintence and some days in a deficit

Would it negatively impact or make any difference at all if I am working to improve and fix anterior pelvic tilt being in a deficit? Only about 400 to 500 calories deficit if considering TDEE but I am using my BMR as my amount I based it on so 200 calorie deficit based on that

I already gained about 5 lbs in the past four months to try to mainly build lower body muscle and made some small progress, and I've lost more bf% recently but now my goal is fixing my spine and low back more than anything. Thanks!

Workouts that help improve Spine?

How do I improve this with weight training and posture? I feel like I look like a freak and my stomach curves outward

Maybe 15% treadmill hands free makes it worse

If I stop listening to advice and listen to my body I like to train the same muscle group two to three days in a row. How bad is this?

I need to build quads and glutes

Is it normal to feel like you look huge and puffy when you finally commit to eating enough protein and sticking to weights?

I've been at a small surplus without realizing for a few months but at least I've been able to build more muscle.. the surplus is my fault but I also have not missed 140g of protein a day for 3 months straight at least. The first photo is from end of January. The others are recent within the last week or so. The third pic is fasted abdomen

I think I've built a lot of muscle but I feel like I look so mid

I've lost 70 lbs of fat (at least) in 1.5 years without counting calories but I am now weighing my food and I've been averaging 2,800 calories a day for the last few weeks which is so much. But I'm staying at 145 lbs fasted in the morning (for now). I know I need to get to 2,200 average calories max..

I'm 5'7 and 145 lbs for reference

Of note, I do have bad bloating and digestion issues I'm trying to get ahold of and it makes my abdomin so inflamed and bloated even when there isn't a ton of fat there, which is contributing to the overall look. But yeah I was thinner in the first pic which is when I had only just started weight training, before that it was only cardio zone 1-2. Now I weight train 4-5 times a week and I have gained weight and retain a lot more water with the carbs I've reintroduced to my diet. I also do cardio every single day

Maybe I've just been overeating, but yeah would love any anecdotes on the question in my title
