With your local IP in Cloudflare, remote access will definitely never work.
With your PUBLIC address in Cloudfare, NAT loopback will cause requests to your domain to route to your server LAN IP. For NAT loopback to work you need port forwarding properly setup as well. That is assuming your router behaves the same as mine.
Can you share screenshots of your port forwarding config?
But, as I stated, custom DNS entries are the way to go. If that is even an option. On all the routers I've used, in the DNS config section of the router there was a "edit hosts" button or table where I could add DNS entries to.
