How is your squat so high compared to your deadlift?
I have the complete opposite problem you have. Also, iirc didn't you say you were in HS (I may be completely wrong) and what's your bw?

It's completely not worth comparing squats and deadlifts below 300 lbs minimum. It has more to do with mobility and form than it does to do with how strong you are in those lifts.

It seems natural/logical that the deadlift should be higher than the squat though.
At least on Starting Strength (what I'm doing) Rippetoe basically says that your DL should be higher than your squat so that you can introduce the power clean and not fall behind on the deadlift. Maybe I'm reading too much into it though.
Yeah don't worry about how the lifts compare relative to each other for now. You're still training your body to just do the movements correctly, so like ignE said your numbers don't really reflect anything right now, other than the fact that you are a beginner (and there is nothing wrong with that!). Best to just concentrate on getting form down, getting mobility and stability in order, eating like an athlete and making sick progress with dem beginner gains.

I can't speak for ieatkids but my squat is similarly ahead of my deadlift but it's mostly just because I'm still uncomfortable with the deadlift and don't want to hurt myself by forcing extra weight up.

Yup. Your lifts are only worth comparing once they start stalling/plateauing imo

IgnE is right, though the way he's going about saying it comes off as kind of dismissive/a dick. The answer to your question is "form/mobility/muscular imbalance from being weak overall."
the follow up to that answer is "keep squatting and pulling and it should balance out to deadlift being ahead of squats until you're at least in the 600-700lb range."
yeah pretty much what everyone else said. for me specifically, it's just when i first started working out, i put more effort in developing my squat than my deadlift and didn't consistently follow a program. i only seriously started to work on my deadlift a few weeks ago; add in inconsistency because of some personal issues and you get weird numbers lol.
i'm 22 btw, finished college and working now bw around 160 lbs, height is 5 11. skinny frame and a bit of fat around my waist and legs, maybe around 18-20% bodyfat would be my guess.
167.5kg squat... barely xD i cant train 3 times a week this month so im will try to stay in 160kg training only saturdays TT. Also i have a littl balance problem, apparently my left leg is stronger so im lifiting more in that side making my left thig bigger than my right one xD, any advice in how i can fix that?

Try weighted pistol squats on your right leg after squatting
You might want to take a video of yourself squatting from directly behind. Sometimes even if I already know what I'm doing wrong, just seeing it helps me put the pieces together better.
It's also possible you have a structural or form problem so that it seems like your right leg is stronger, but you are actually just imbalanced for some other reason.
