5 year old boy, doesn’t listen, hits us at home (immediate family) loves a tantrum

My 5 year old has always been high energy kid, he’s active, eats well and is a strong boy which leads to 1st issue, he loves play fighting but hits too hard and plays too rough, randomly punches his sister (older) punches us (parents).
he doesn’t listen well, he says things like he doesn’t care, he’s also now got an imaginary friend who he blames a lot for his misdemeanours.
He’s also a lovely, funny, cuddly, fun loving boy but he can’t really test my patience sometimes.
over the holidays, his screen time has increased on gaming so this is something I am addressing.
any suggestions, comments, ideas, book recommendations welcome :)
