Pole work to make sure he is using his quarters properly. By engaging and working over his back he'll lighten up in front

Second the transitions and leg yields (or in fact any other lateral work) to engage his quarters.
Have you considered the NS verbindend? I'm not one for changing bits to fix problems, but my gelding is built similarly and I find it encourages him to lift himself and be more free through his shoulder. It's dressage legal too so you'd be fine BE! Good luck.

Yip all of above schooling, I had a wee bit of help with a myler as they can't fix. My used to be heavy in the forehand boy is in a French link. I had to change his minds set for him to understand that leaning is not acceptable, it took a few months but he gets it now... And that was basically with all of the aforesaid schooling.

Transitions, if your by hills, hillwork makes them use their back end and strengthens everything up. I always find walk/trot/cantering up and down hills makes them learn to balance.
