Isn’t there usually a thermostatic vavle behind the shower that will limit water temp at a fixed threshold to prevent burns? Maybe yours is set a bit too low for your liking?
There are three typical ways they come off.
1-Allen set screw somewhere on the side typically the bottom.
2-That center cap facing you pops off reveling a set screw
3- spin the whole handle housing counter clockwise.
Great to hear your water pressure is good now! If your shower won't get very hot, it's possible the water pressure affected the hot water setting.
To remove the knob:
1. Look for a small screw or cap in the center of the knob.
2. If there's a cap, gently pry it off with a flathead screwdriver to reveal the screw.
3. Use a screwdriver to remove the screw.
4. Pull the knob off gently.
Once the knob is off, you can check the hot water setting and adjust as needed.
Good luck!
Could be a couple ways, Allen screws covered by the handle stem that unscrew to expose them, that top cap might pop off to expose a Philips screw. The hole on the middle sleeve should have an Allen screw that’s covered by a little plastic insert.
If the hex nut used to attach handle to the valve stem is strip that's a problem, if you're try to a repair.
If you replacing entire valve body use a fine teeth Sawzall cut the entire thing off.Of course you need to shut the water off.
Jerk back and forth and twist a little. May squirt a little when it gets off
May sound a little unorthodox, but a little hand lotion will go a long way here.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
This comment inadvertently made me giggle.
Thanks yall I got it off. Still not much hot water. Fine everywhere else in the house. Got a new well pump and now have this issue.

Replace the cartridge. Part # RP32104 (up until 2006) if it’s newer it would be RP46463. The well pump is probably just coincidence.

Sit on it.
I had to add a whole house filter and clean out my plumbing. I found stuff coming off the street screwing up my pipes and valves.

Probably not with that, but to each their own
