welcome

Welcome to the forum!

First and foremost, your Z offset is a bit high.

That looks like a loose pulley on the x-motor to me.

 

Check that you have lined up one of the grub screws with the flat on the motor shaft and tighten that first. Than tighten the other grub screw.

 

Check the pulley on the Y-motor too.

 I agree with both these gentlemen First fix your Z its way high, then check your belt tension, and then your extrusion multiplier.

 

Good Luck
