Nice video! My largest kite at around 183 lbs. is a 13 m Crossbow. Part of the problem may be that you are overpowered on a 16 m. With the newer kites, the largest sizes are good for larger, heavier guys and milking the absolute low end. Looking quickly at your clip as near as I can tell your posture and edging look fine, transitions good as well. Have you tried attaching your outside lines to the outermost bridle knots? This will allow maximum depower along with tuning your trim strap. You may need to pull in a little bit on your trim strap to avoid being oversheeted and experiencing poor kite response with that setting.
