I guess I've been 'overprocessing' a lot lately, any idea what mistake am I making? How do I fix it?

I use Lightroom, what I'm mainly doing is increase contrast, decrease highlights, sharpen the image anywhere between 80 to 150 and add about 20 to 30 Noise reduction, anyone's help/ suggestions would be really appreciated.

Editing halos, likely from the 'decrease highlights' step.

thank you so much for pointing it out, in this edit, I increased the contrast but instead of decreasing highlights, I adjusted the exposure, I feel the halos might have worsened, but how are your thoughts on this edit and the process?

Badly oversharpened, but previously visible halos are gone.

Edited another image using the same method but sharpening to 40, is this also badly oversharpened, any suggestions on the post processing?

This one has halos too, though of a different kind. Might be as a result of sharpening or something else.

I just figured it out, the output sharpening for glossy paper was enabled, that was causing the issue, how are these now?

Hello, I set the horizon using these windows this time and sharpened it, is this fine?
