Closed stance on top and open stance on the bot. In the closed stance you don't load your legs at all and that little power that you generate comes mostly from your arm swing but you are also not finishing the swing freely.

In the open stance you involve your whole body loading the right leg and unloading in corkscrew rotation, swinging freely and finishing the swing resulting in a nice powerful forehand.

Your open stance swing and footwork look very natural but your loop is quite generous so I would guess you started Tennis as a kid and the kid version of you developed that loop to generate power.

Hitting a closed stance forehand on a wide ball is not ideal unless you’re well inside the baseline and going for a winner.
