I'm following Blender guru's Anvil tutorial. After using Boolean I cleaned up the extra vertices. Edge flow looks fine on my mesh.

However, when I apply a Subdivision Surface modifier my mesh becomes really messy as if something is wrong with the edge flow.

Can you guys help spot the problem?

Even though your edge flow looks good from the side, the base of your mesh is apparently made by a single big N-gon.

Compare the subdivision of a quad base vs a n-gon base:

You should remove your base face and replace it with carefully created quadrilaterals.

Here's what I did:

I deleted the bottom face, selected the border and capped it. I then used the Knife tool to create quads at the bottom ( i dont know how to create them automatically without having to use the Knife tool. Still having issues.
