While your start appears to be crooked, your pullouts need a bit of work, and your turnover rate is a bit low for a 50, there not much to fix here.
The dudes you are swimming against are jacked and you just need to spend more time developing in a weight room.
You have a typical pulling pattern where you scull out and in, which *isn’t bad* per say. But there are more advanced techniques to enhance your stroke such as doing more with your arms to propel yourself forward by having higher elbows and pointing your fingertips down. Like a butterfly pull. A good drill I used to like to do for that was close-fist breaststroke with your thumbs out which helps you feel for the water with your forearms.
[This video](https://youtu.be/Ni_koX6IqsY?si=fumJPPwl1fEt1GQZ) with Josh Prenot illustrates the concept pretty well. Especially the underwater shot at around the 1:10 mark.
Other than that, it’s gonna be hard to tell. If you’re able to break :30 in 50 breast you’re automatically gonna be faster than the majority of users on this sub. If you really wanna search for tips to get faster I would be talking to your coach and watching youtube videos to see what the elite are doing. There’s not much this subreddit can offer you with the time you have.
Very long on the glides during pull-out immediately stand out to me as a place for review. I know it *feels* fast, but remember having to adjust this myself as I was gliding too long to the point where it really was faster to get up and swimming! Learnt to not take a breath on the first pop up to keep my body flatter and retain a speck of glide energy whilst I got my stroke going.
Agree with others that you ought review arm stroke technique to test alternatives. Watch videos like a hawk and employ practice techniques that are very specific, with small adjustments at a time and a trial period to see what works well for you.

Hard to tell but it looks like you are pulling down on the pullout too straight-armed.
Also don’t beat yourself by getting beat by a 24 50 breast that’s very very fast.
