"Legit" is a rather fuzzy concept. Do you want to go to a meet? Or not?
I currently have following lifts.
BP 250
Deadlift 385
Squat 290
I am 44yo, I weigh 190. I have finished LP for everything but squat. Am not maxed out on these but had form issues which are improving. These are not impressive for sure. Should I try to lift for competition or wait until they are better. If so, what numbers are legit for my age and weight.

Yes I would like to go. Just would really rather not look like idiot and don't know what to expect. Have no friends my age that power lift or do anything but 5ks.
A suggestion. Look up the records and results numbers in past meets in the federation, age, and weight class you intend to lift in. Let that be your guide. But if you want to go to a meet, go to one. There's a lot of respect from the younger lifters for people in the master's divisions.
Last place finishes ahead of those who didn't show up.
OP,
Just pick a meet that has a cool event T-shirt, go, do your best, and have fun. You won't regret it and it will be a learning experience.
I think you'll find powerlifting competitions to be one of the most supportive environments around. Even though everyone is technically competing against each other, there's a lot of encouragement and respect between the competitors.
If you want to do a meet, just show up and do your best. Train hard and do better the next time. Etc. etc.
