Smoky tail pipe

Smoky tail pipe
My Honda Accord 2016 Sport has a smoky tail pipe. Even after its warmed up, there’s thin white smoke coming out of the exhaust. Have been checking the oil level and it burns around 0.5 quarts in 1,300-1,500 miles. The smoke seems to go away when it’s in drive and moving, but comes back immediately after it stops moving. I added ATP 205 reseal thinking it’s the valve seals, but after 300+ miles, doesn’t seem to have changed anything for me. Doesn’t seem like a coolant leak. I installed a new PCV valve about a month ago. The car has 90,000+ miles, the oil and filter are changed every 4,000-5000 miles. What could this be? Is it normal?
I attached a link to a video of what it looks like below.
Thanks.

Does it drip? Look like there's a little puddle of water under the tips of your exhaust. One of the things a converter does is to produce water.

Just rubbed my finger around the diameter, it’s actually pretty clean.
I guess it’s condensation steam, just thought that after 15-20 minutes of the vehicle getting to normal operating temps the steam would stop, but it seems to go on indefinitely. Doesn’t seem to steam when I’m motion, however.

Your not burning oil really. That's clean.
