Ahh, toilet to the rear, with portapotti full of pink stuff, awning at the rear, kitchen at the rear: that should do it. Caravans with kitchen and toilet at the rear always have a tendency to be light on noseweight, hence more forward loading needed.
Maybe also the spare wheel mounted underneath the caravan, back of the axle? If so that's another cause. Better leave it in the front locker for your caravan.
The portapotti top tank may be good for probably 10 to 15 litres, hence 15 kgs. Awning maybe up to 45 kgs. Kitchen is a weight factor, e.g. sheer weight of the fridge, let alone if it is loaded with food.
Travel with portapotti as empty as possible, maybe just a few litres for underway. Load the awning forward. You should notice a big difference already and probably enough difference.
