Your form isn't that bad, but here are some suggestions.

#1 Put your belt on wide part in the FRONT.
Wide in the back belts are to support your low back, when you arch backward, like in an overhead press. The way belts support in squats and deads is to press into your abs and/or upper thigh. You (mostly) want support from the belt in the bottom. Put your belt on, and put your hand in back inside the belt (between belt and low back). Bend down like you are squatting. You will feel the belt get loose. Wide part in front=more support in hole.

#2 Do you feel yourself shift forward right after you start up? (Changing your belt will help stop this too). Can be 3 things: Weak low back (the word core is too pu$$ified for powerlifting), bar positioned too high on back or dropping too fast. You will squat better if you drop more slowly (less momentum to stop in the hole) and rack the bar lower if you can.

#3 Your knees are still going to far forward. Your lower leg should ideally stay perpendicular above your ankle. The easiest way to learn that is box squats.
