You cannot upload an image that is 2800pix wide, so offering advice on it is pointless.

This image suffers from overprocessing, compression, and a slight cyan tint.

To answer that, we would need to know, how you process the photos, from in-camera settings up the last step in post processing. Typical reasons can be:
- D-lighting in some Nikons
- Other auto-adjusting features in your camera
- auto-correcting features in your editor, like shadow/highlights, vibrance, clarity ... (always depending on your editor)
- sharpening settings with large radius

I turned off my D-lighting for photos taken since November 2019 (my prescreened photos are taken in 2020). I also changed the settings of Picture Control from SD to NL. My other settings include Auto-servo AF and I use 39-point AF. My vignette control is also set as "normal" even though I don't touch on vignette while editing photos and I use lens hood for shooting as well.
Am I supposed to change my focus settings and not touch on highlights/shadows/vibrance while editing my photos?

Focus has no impact on overprocessing. Auto-correcting features can produce halos. You can check your photo after every step and fin out that way, which step is the culprit in your workflow.
