Upgrading to a dif Toilet, Flange is stuck???

Either the pipe is inside or outside. Looking at your picture, I would say the flange is over the pipe coming from the tank. The only way to say for sure is cut off the top flange, then you can see which pipe goes to the flange and the other one goes to the tank. You do not want to cut the tank one, just the flange. Yes it should have a little glue when install back when. We only put a little glue at the very top of the pipe from the tank when you put it back together or none at all. This is due to its going to be very tight, so some sanding fitting will be needed.
I slit/saw which every pipe is the flange and use a screw drive or a chisel, that is up to you to you. Three or four slits and it will just peel off. I am like you building up the flange will rise the flange and if too high you will have an issue.
Go to lowes or where every you buy plumbing supplies. Find the flange you will need and build up what you need to look like what you have/can see. This will give you an ideal what you have to do.
Doug does this for a living, so he suggestion would work if you have a straight down tank pipe. You might be able to see the tank connection from outside, or drop a light down on a string on the inside. You stated that the tank pipe is loose. So I would check that out and see if possible how the pipe is connected to the tank.
If I can find another video will send you.
