So, I don't know if my sporcket is bent or not (it doesnt look bent at all) but it seems like halfway through my pedal (using my hands) it gets a little harder to pedal then loosens up... my chain gets tense then loosens up. Im going to assume its my sprocket.... but I wanted some opinions before i buy a sprocket

Try loosing your whole crank assembly and the sprocket bolt, Then tighten it all back up and the sprocket bolt last. if it doesn't fix it then it may be bent, my sprockets straight and my chain does that from time to time. Bikes are fucking odd.

Make sure it isn't going up and down when looked at from a side view. Then also check your driver on your hub.

Now that you say that... when I watch it it seems like it wobbles slightly when its peddling
Could this be beacuse its bent?

It probably has a small bend, but it's honestly not the biggest deal. If you can still ride it without having to make your chain super loose it should be good. Sprockets just get bent over time. I def get a new one every once in a while...
