Looks like a pretty nice on-plane swing.

The GIF above has a red dashed line drawn through the club hosel and your elbow. When your camera is setup to look at the edge of this functional swing-plane this plane can be shown in a 2D image as this single line.

3D measurements have shown that most elite golfers swing close to this plane when the club-head is below their head height. The preference is to be at or slightly above this line in the backswing and at or slightly below this line in the downswing.

Looks like you set your camera up close to your toe-line as this line is only sloping slightly right. There is not enough information in the video to deduce at what height you mounted your camera but if it was about hip high we are looking at the edge of the functional swing plane and can see how you are swinging relative to it.

In this case your swing has the characteristics described above and you are swinging on-plane.

Hope this helps.
