Can somebody PLS share some secret, some magical trick I don't know about, to fix anterior pelvic tilt.
I've had this shit since high school. I've read countless articles and watched a shitton of youtube videos on it and have implemented everything I know to fix it.
Yet I can't see a smidgen of change. NOTHING.
Either my body is resistant to stretching or god is holding me back.
I've been stretching for almost 3 years now with periods of going hardcore at it. I am currently going through one now, stretching twice a day.
Every kind of possible hamstring strengthening at the gym.
Ab stuff, foam rolling, minding posture throughout the day.
It's become an obsession.
Help a desperate man.

acquiring proper flexibility after a life of neglect takes years of constant work, not weeks or months

If it's not due to some tight muscles, stretching won't help. You have some kind of muscular imbalance. Find out what kind and build muscle accordingly?
Kind of how you strenghten upper back and shoulders if you have a hunch.

Im on my way to fixing it. Ive seen alot of improvement at least.
Its caused by lower back and hip flexors being tight, and core/abs and glutes/hamstrings being weak. So, I started avoiding exercises that hit the lower back or hip flexors. I used to do a shitton of hanging leg raises, they hit the hip flexors alot so it probably contributed to my APT. So i dropped those. And I dropped heavy deadlifts, I do stiff legged lower weight deadlifts now to really target those hammies.
Besides dropping exercises that target the tight areas, start doing exercises that target the weak areas. Do planks, ab rollouts, stomach vacuums, leg curls, glute bridges at least 3 times a week.
Its been 3 months now and I see noticeable improvement in my APT, my lower back also started hurting less, one of my discs was under constant pressure from APT.
Good luck

the only muscular imbalance that leads to this is weak glutes,hams and supposedly strong quads.
My gym routine does not consist of anything involving quads. It does however include various hamstring exercises and glute exercises.
Change made to posture with this = non-existent

Ok I might be cursed, I know all of that information. As soon as I feel a hint of hip-flexor activation (leg raises) I drop the exercise.
I am really self-conscious when it comes to fixing it so I don't just do random shit.
oh well.

Heres a picture to further explain what I mean

You are forgetting abs/core. Doing alot of ab/core work especially with ab rollouts and stomach vacuums have made a world of difference.
If that still doesnt fix it, theres something in your life that needs adjusting. If youre sitting in a chair badly for 8 hours a day, or sleeping in a bad position 8 hours a day, no 1 hour exercising or stretching is going to counteract that.

I do mostly planks, less ab rollouts, guess I'll increase those.
And yes, sitting, unfortunately. The chair is my vice.
