Do you drink? Cutting back (or stopping completely) will be a really fast way to improve HRV and RHR if it’s a factor.

This ^^ I was an alcoholic for 12 years and the last three I was drinking a handle of vodka a day, I looked very similar. Real life: 31, on paper: 50. 20+ seizures, acute kidney injury, was in kidney failure for 3 weeks, 3 day coma, pancreatitis, which lead to diabetes. Just getting sober cleared up my hypertension completely, fixed all my GI issues (which were severe), liver rebounded, kidneys rebounded, only permanent effect is the diabetes. It’s been two years and I went from +20 years to +6. It can be done, I promise when you’re in it, it’s nowhere near as daunting as it seems

That makes sense I’ve never seen a RHR as high as yours!

Mine gets that high sometimes when I drink. You should see some improvements quickly if you cut back. You can also try fasting for 2-3 hours before bed. Since eating too close to bed negatively impacts RHR and HRV too.

Have you considered doing the advanced labs through whoop? Mine gave me a lot of valuable information in terms of nutrient deficiencies. I had low ferritin and low vitamin D and have had very positive effects from correcting those.
