I've been riding for more than sixty years and have my own method of setting up a bike.
The biggest piece of advice I can give you is that everything works together. Make one change and it affects everything else. For instance, raising the seat might necessitate getting a stem with more rise.
Start by leveling your seat. I put a board on top of my saddle and then put a level on that.
Another piece of advice I'd give you is the stem is an underrated component. They aren't cheap, but changing your stem might make all the difference in the world. If your stem is the wrong length or the wrong rise, you are never going to be comfortable.
Your seat moves forward and back. I like mine all the way back, but you might start with a more central position.
Changing the fore and aft position changes your reach to the pedals. Move it back and you might have to lower your seat. Move it forward and you might have to raise your seat.
Your leg should be bent a little when you are at the bottom of the stroke. I raise the saddle till I can't spin smoothly, in a low gear, or I start feeling tension in the tendons behind the knee, then back off a little. You are trying to find the highest position without causing problems in smoothness or stressing tendons.

Make small adjustments to the saddle height until you feel balanced between your three points of contact when you ride. Your saddle may quickly develop pain points if you tilt it too much up or down.
