How do I stop basing my self worth on physical appearance? I hate how I look but I want to feel good about myself.

If you are a healthy person with two arms and two legs and without deformations, those feelings are totally valid.
Get on a gym.
If you are not healthy, accept the cards life delt you and try to base your self worth on other areas where you can achieve accomplishments.

Sounds complicated. OP, "self-worth" has absolutely nothing to do with things that are given; it is about choices you make.

that's incredibly useless as a concept then. Hitler Stalin Mao all had tons of that, they were super sure of their choices being the objective best thing they could do to benefit their fellow man. without feedback from others, you don't have a valuable concept of "worth"

Master new skills and perfect them.
Get stoned (optional). Getting high is pretty nice.
Note that all human perception is subjective. We can't not be biased. Reality is nihilistic and meaningless, and what meaning we have only exists in the mind.
Whether you choose to have any sense of meaning or not is your call. Focus more on making sure your short meaningless life doesn't go to waste with what little time you and everyone else actually have. That includes not wasting your time on your current insecurities + unhealthy/low self esteem. Try to balance it out. Self worth or not, live your best life just because you can.
