I'm worn out all the videos and web pages I've been reading, I'd give up cycling if I wouldn't miss it so much.
Lowering your saddle will not help as I suspect that its already too low.
There are lots of things going on with your fit and just adjusting the saddle height is not going to be the magic fix.
My view is that your going to need to carefully isolate issues one at a time.
If you just gently ride around in a low gear without much power, do you sit comfortably and balanced on the saddle?
Is the saddle balance problem always there when riding gently or is it just an issue when you're applying power to the cranks?
Maybe you need a wider saddle.
I think that your cranks are too long for you based on your leg angles in the pictures but this may be exacerbated by your seat height being too low.
I want to see the saddle go up and see if this opens up your leg angles. Low saddles are only OK for gently riding around the neighbourhood. Raising the saddle will take some stress off your knees and give you more power. You can go too high with the saddle of course and start rocking yet you look too low to me.
