Do I need a different bike? (C&V content)


I'm recently getting into riding as more than just a commuter and so I'm also more aware of bike fit. I've made some recent changes to make it more comfortable but I'm still feeling it in my shoulders and soft tissue.

Here are some basic points-
I'm 5'9.5" but I'm mostly torso. Inseam comes in around 32" barefoot, 32.5" in my cycling shoes.
Frame is 53cm seat tube, 54cm top.
170 length crank arms.

Being a man of mostly torso I worry that though my legs are comfy on this bike, my upper body is cramped. It's currently set up with a 90mm stem so I'm planning on swapping that out with a 110mm soon.
Saddle height feels good after measuring with the LeMond method. Fore and aft is troublesome though I may not even be on the right saddle. Recently my sit bones were measured to 145mm which is especially wide on an old Concor America saddle.

I love this bike .I built it up myself. Is it wrong for me?
Thank you all for your time. Pics below hopefully provide some help.
