Correcting the saddle tilt ought to help your problem a lot, in and of itself. However, I suggest you make one change at a time, and give it a good couple of rides to feel the changes and whether or not you like them. Then, make the next adjustment. To help the process, since you stated you were a newbie and that this is a new bike to you, I suggest you read over Peter White's article on bike fitting:
http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/fitting.htm. Not all of it may make sense right off the bat, but over the coming months it will, as you'll probably be tweaking a lot of aspects of your saddle height, fore-aft, and stem length and height. On my new bikes or re-builds of bikes I already own, it can take weeks for me to dial it all in. And, if I later decide to get a new saddle or handlebars, I have to do the process all over again.
Good luck!
