I am new to cycling, first and foremost. Of course I’ve ridden bike my whole life, but new to the serious cycling game.

Ive done about 30 miles on the bike so far, learning and getting used to it. However I have been having some issues that I just can’t seem to get right...

1) More pressure than I’d like on my hands/wrists.

I have moved the seat back, slight angled up in attempt to move my COG back.. Seat is at proper height (might could go up a tad), but still feel like too much of my weight is supported by my hands. I try to keep a slight bend in elbows as well, as I should.

2) Having some back pains, some lower, some mid (but this is likely a result of my mild scoliosis/lack of flexibility...which I imagine will get better over time..my guess)

What I want to achieve is a lighter feeling on my hands and just be overall more comfortable in the saddle.

I am just barely 6 feet tall with well balanced proportions (torso to legs) and slightly longer arms...if that’s helpful.

Hopefully I can get some good suggestions to alleviate these issues!!
