It would be great if you could take some pictures and post them of your stance from multi angles. Sounds like right off hand though that you have some lower extremity postural distortions from weak and tight muscles.
If you have flatten and externally rotated feet then likely you have tightness in your Gastrocnemius,Soleus,Adductors and weak in your Tibialis,Iliotibial band,Hip rotators.

You can work on correcting this with really focusing on weight and form in your resistance training and then a solid flexibility program with SMR work and Static Stretches. I would also suggest dynamic movements for pre-workout warm up as well.

Some other things to notice in movements would be..

-resting on your calves in squats or lunges
-more shin sensitivity in running
-over activation of the wrong muscles during exercise there fore leading to lagging body part strength

I personally while training work in correlation with the clients goals and correcting these distortions at the same time to help create a better overall look and being less prone to ache, injuries and discomforts.
