why would you start with 20 int on a warlock?
why would you level up in con?
why this over-obsession with crafted gear?
why no belt?
why no slaver's set?
why no ravenloft set?
why no master's gift?

The more you put into a stat at character creation, the more each point costs. With your distribution, you get 10 Int, 10 Cha, and 7 Con.

Now, consider if you remove 2 Cha at character creation, use those points for 6 Con, and use 2 level-ups for Cha: you would get 10 Int, 10 Cha, and 11 Con.
This is still an inefficient way to spend the points, but it demonstrates how you can get more out of spending your points differently.

As a rule of thumb, you should only put level-up stats into the stat(s) that you put the most into at character creation.
In my opinion, you should probably go 20 Cha, 16 Con, 16 Int at creation with level-ups into Cha. Unless you really want more skill points.

Also, PRR is in no way linked to Con.

Then it wouldn’t have the dex  bonus and be Mithral

I would also recommend not to use Mithral Full Plate as your level 16 armor. Instead, craft on a Spiritcraft Hide, it'll have higher AC, max dex bonus (and dodge cap), can be used by druids and should have a blue slot.

The Ravenloft items are super easy to farm and are good from 10-20. I would definitely run a 5-piece adherent set + 3 piece Beacon set. Optimal would be to do a 5-piece slaver on top of that, but you could fill it in with CC instead. (Or I guess you could just do all Ravenloft gear then...)

Goggles: Summoner's Specs
Helmet: CC/Slaver
Necklace: Kindred Pendant
Trinket: CC/Slaver
Cloak: Silverthread/Phasecloak/Scarletscale
Belt: Burnscar
Gloves: Blurfingered
Boots: CC/Slaver
Ring1: CC/Slaver
Ring2: Skulled (or one of 5 others)
Bracers: CC/Slaver
Armor: Noble's Regalia
Quiver: Alacrity
Shield: Mistfallen/Cane/Warsword
Weapon: Barovian Scepter (or whatever)

Can you clarify what you plan to do with the warlock? Are you going to keep running heroic trs? Are you staying in epics?

what i am using:
Goggles: GS conc-opp 45hp
Helmet: CC sheltering 14 / spell focus 2 / ins prr 6
Necklace: Kindred Pendant
Cloak: mantle of fury
Belt: Burnscar
Gloves: Blurfingered
Boots: softsole slippers
Ring1: spinneret
Ring2: Skulled (or one of 5 others)
Bracers: mysterious bracers
Armor: Noble's Regalia
Quiver: Alacrity
Shield: Mistfallen/Warsword
Weapon: Barovian Scepter
Trinket CC, swap depending on class:
wiz- INT 6, heal amp 22, ins INT 2
lock/sorc- light/force lore 11, heal amp 22, ins WIS 2
cler/fvs- WIS 6, heal amp 22, ins WIS 2

might not be the best there is but works pretty solid with what i have
PS: thats lvl 10/12 gear not 16 but since you were interrested in RL gear you can just combine it with CC of any lvl above

Regardless of how many hours you play per week, you say you're on what is at least your 34th life. There's no excuse for being on your 34th life and lacking the amount of basic game knowledge that you seem to be lacking. Your vault account was created in 2014. I can only assume that you made a conscious effort to learn as little as possible over the course of what must have been at least 800 hours over multiple years playing this game.

But hey, feel free to pretend that I'm the problem here.

*sigh* apparently not....
