I believe Strava’s estimated power numbers are only calculated after the activity is saved. It's not possible to see a live value without a power meter on your bike.
Even if you have a power meter, the Strava app doesn't support them so you would need to use a 3rd party app or dedicated sports device (head unit, fitness watch, etc) to see live power numbers.
Regarding older activities, I'm not sure on this but I believe Strava will recalculate the power when activity data changes. You could try to edit a previous activity (just edit them save without making any changes) -- once it's re-saved, since your weight has changed it should calculate estimated power. You may need to toggle something which impacts power like changing the bike.

I actually did that. I created the bike then added it to my previous activities but that didn’t change a thing. I even just switched the activity type from “bike ride” “mountain bike ride” but that didn’t help either.
If your activities are visible to everyone, can you post a URL for an example where estimated power is missing?

Okay I was about to share this but I saw that the power metric is now appearing. It took a bit of time but now I’m seeing these on all the previous records after changing the activity type. Thanks guys!
