There are many frame alignment issues that a sensitive person can feel but not easily find unless they also are a skilled frame alignment guy. But there are also body alignment ones too.

The photo at first looks to show a possible rear triangle offset to one side. But photos aren't how these things are discovered. If it was only a simple case of the rear triangle being off to one side your body would still touch symmetrically about the front triangle/contact points. A twisted front triangle might place your hands to one side WRT your hips but sliding the bars over within the stem a touch could adjust for this. But there's no suggestion that the bike tracks off to one side. (not that this is always the case with a twisted main frame). A twisted Bb could also cause issues. Not that the photo will tell us anything about this possibility. Even different length crank arms can, for a same leg length body, throw off the hips. Again this photo doesn't speak to that.

So what's really going on? Can't say without far more info and assessment. Both the bike and the Op need to be checked out. Andy.
