Weirdly enough scooting the seat forward can put more weight on your hands even though your body is more upright. It's a balance thing. Seat further back shifts your center of gravity further back towards your legs and hindquarter.
Note that steeper seat tubes (which is what you're doing) are considered race-y while shallower angles are considered more relaxed.
