I can't tell if my back is rounding or if it's just fat or is it both.

no cause for concern if not causing discomfort either way

Ok thanks
Looks straight to me.
It would be good to see the whole motion. Like, it might be rounding coming right off the floor.
Do you feel strain on the back at all? Afaik, you should be pulling only with your posterior chain all the way up until the bar reaches your mid thigh.
There used to be a trip who knew everything about deadlifting. Not sure what happened to her.

The only strain I really feel is in my legs
Could be more extended but this is fine as long as it's not dynamic flexion, ie as long as you're not grinding into that position you should be fine

What do you mean by 'could be more extended'?

"extended" is straight. lumbar extension = forward (Towards the barbell), lumbar flexion (bad) = away from barbell.
he means if you start the lift ruler flat, and then buckle like that after the lift starts, no good. if you're keeping it like that throughout the lift it's fine.
the cue to remember that made a huge difference for me was "keeping your chest up". this is why front squats are a great accessory for deadlifts, because thorassic extension is basically keeping your chest up.
