HELP PLEASE.  
I can’t tell if my fiddle leaf is getting top heavy? And if so, could I cut it and try to grow new roots? If so, should it be stuck in water to root or can I just use rooting powder and put back in soil and pot?

I’d maybe tie it to a tall stake (u can get them super cheap at the hardware store) so that should stabilize it. I wouldn’t worry too much unless it has other issues!
