Hi, my bike is terribly creaking arround headset when I am descending and pushing hard into the pedals while leaning onto a pedal when going uphill. I have already put apart the headset, regreased it, but it didn't work. Also my bike is terribly creaking like inside of the frame when going uphill and also leaning myself onto one pedal and the other. Do you know what might cause this creak?

Have you lubricated your Crocs? May be the issue
Sounds like bottom bracket so it probably isn’t bottom bracket but I’d get your bottom bracket checked out.
I’ve had a noise similar to that from my stem. I would check the torque on those bolts.
Check the saddle post

Lower pivot bolts
My Fuel EX had a similar sound a while back. Turned out to be a loose crankset – check that your crankset bolt is torqued to spec
Had same symptoms on a yt Capra. Ended up being a pivot bearing.
Could check for play in your pedal. That was my recent problem. I took it apart and re-tigntened it and it disappeared haha
