After processing my medium film in a Jobo tank I discovered these weird spots. Some of the frames are better others are worse, developing temperature and times were accurate. This isn’t my first time processing film.
All help will be greatly appreciated.

Assuming your process was accurate than you issue lies with the film itself pre-processing. It could be water damage or something to that effect. How has this film been stored?

I believe you used too little amount of chemical to process the film. How much developer did you use to process the roll of Ektar (120 roll)? I am not sure what the white spots are but the colors of the first image looks like it was processed with too little developer, possibly other chemicals too. For one roll of 120 negative you should use 400 - 500 ml of developer according to Kodak Z-131 document.

Are you sure that the film was not kinked or on the reel wrong?

Looks a bit like developer contamination to me; the way the highlights are compressed, cyan cast, weird contrast etc what does the film base look like? Reddish purple? or the normal orange?
Contaminated developer smells like ammonia are you sure you equipment was clean before use?
Of course it could be any of the other things mentioned above, but my guess is blix in the dev

I had something like that when I forgot to put the roller in the stop bath side of my developing tank
