Follow DMGregory's excellent advice.

Oops, one more try. Tilt is harder than yaw.

Address comment by DMGregory about camera tilt.

Remember OP is looking for two angles: a yaw and a pitch. They need two slightly different techniques. Don't forget to describe what you mean by lookat too — in some contexts this is used to mean a worldspace point the camera should look towards, but in your example above it looks like you mean it to be the camera's forward direction vector or the offset from the camera position to a point in the center of the camera's view some distance away.
