That’s probably wise re: fit and buying a new frame.
You can have a fairly decent crack at a basic fit yourself, especially if you’ve got a home trainer you can put the bike on. I vaguely remember the GCN video on bike fit to be not terrible.
If you’ve got a bike that feels good - make sure you note the measurements before you start messing with it.

Makes sense, I jammed my saddle forward a while back to compensate for too much reach and that caused a lot of other issues. My mountainbike has been very comfortable from the get-go, so I'll have a good look at the saddle position on there to get some cues for my other bikes.
(I've decided to not buy a new frame / bike before having done a bike fit, but realistically that's still a year out as my student budget doesn't allow for it.)
