So I am working on one of my tracks and I attempted mastering the drop.

As you can hear, it's pretty horrible. It sound squished and very quiet. I just don't get what I'm doing wrong though, It's topping at 0db most of the time and it's nowhere as loud enough as professional tracks. I'd get over it sounding so squished because a lot of beginners have that, but why the heck isn't it loud when the dB meter does the same as professional tracks? Please tell me what I'm doing wrong if you know.
Things I tried:
