Click the button you circled to enable the Width and Height to work together and scale in perspective.
or
If you keep it off, use the Shift key and use a corner handle.

Yes, I know this already. My question is how to set it to default locked. That is the question. 🙂

Enable the Link icon (Maintain Aspect Ratio). It will be your default until you disable the button.

Details here:

When transforming any layer type, dragging a corner handle now scales the layer proportionally by default, indicated by the Maintain Aspect Ratio button (Link icon) in the ON state in the Options bar.

To change the default transform behavior to non-proportional scaling, simply turn OFF the Maintain Aspect Ratio (Link icon) button. The Shift key, while pressed, now acts as a toggle for the Maintain Aspect Ratio button. If the Maintain Aspect Ratio button is ON, the Shift key toggles it OFF while pressed and vice versa.

Photoshop remembers your last transform behavior setting—proportional or non-proportional scaling—it will be your default transform behavior when you start Photoshop the next time.
