Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Your main symptom seems to be imbalance while standing or moving.
The areas of brain involved in co-ordination are cerebellum and vestibular system. A clinical examination by a neurologist would help in determining the areas of brain affected. The underlying cause can be identified after doing an MRI scan of the brain.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
