I'm looking to upgrade my CPU from an i9-9900k but I want to make sure I can keep my current motherboard. I currently have an i9-9900k, an ASUS RTX 3080ti TUF OC, and 64 GB of DDR4 RAM. I feel like the CPU is bottlenecking my setup, so I'm curious if there's a better option that still fits the LGA 1151 socket, or if I'll need to upgrade my motherboard in addition to the CPU.

Unfortunately, there aren't any significant upgrades available that are compatible with your existing motherboard. You're pretty much limited to your current options unless you're willing to switch out the motherboard too.
Damn, any ideas on what I should look for to pair well with the 3080ti? I don't want to upgrade my CPU and then have to do the motherboard soon after.
