I have always walked hunched over. I first noticed this in a picture someone took when I was 15 (now I am 27). I am still reminded of it when I see myself in pictures and videos. My father and his father also both have a hunch. Since then I have been trying to correct it, admittedly low effort.
Some things I have tried over the last 12 years that did not work:
What happened? Someone on this forum made a post describing one of the hottest girls in his class sitting upright in her chair for an hour straight without leaning back. A few hours later I was in the sauna and I tried to do this. In order to make sure I was sitting up straight, I pressed my back and head against the wall for a moment until I was straight as possible then I moved forward an inch and tried to hold that position. After a moment I again moved back an inch and pressed my back, neck, and head as flat as possible against the wall. Then I moved forward an inch and tried to maintain that position without leaning back or touching the wall.
I did this in the sauna for 10 minutes over the next three days. When I went to work I noticed people looking at me for longer. Initially I felt self conscious and hunched over again so they would stop looking at me. Then I realized what I was doing and just continued to stand up straight. Throughout the day I pressed up against the wall a few times to make sure I was still upright.
So far it has been one week. My posture is actually good now (after 27 years fuck me) and along with the mewing I just feel very good about how I am holding myself. I am getting a lot more looks.
This doesn't solve all my problems but it feels nice to have an important success finally.

Some things I have tried over the last 12 years that did not work:
- imagining a hook in the sternum pulling my chest up
- pinching back the scapula
- holding myself up in the mirror for several minutes a day
- various posture exercises from top videos on youtube and reddit
- moving my weight to my toes, so my shoulders lean backwards to compensate
- chest and back exercises at the gym (including rows, farmers walks, bench, incline press, and more)
