I think you're just a taaaaaaaaad too loose from EP. I would take out a hand or two, but nothing major.
You're VPIP and PFR from the sb are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too close. That tells me you are either raising or folding. Normally not a bad thing from other positions, but seems like you are folding a lot of playable junk from the sb. You already put in half a small bet. So you are getting double the odds to play as you would from other positions. Start completing more. Junk like 93s becomes playable when there are two limpers b/c you are getting 7-1 odds to play. Also, post your "fold small blind to steal" stat. You may be 3! too much vs an ATS.
You seem to be defending enough in the big blind. So it's possible you are folding too much from EP and MP raises. It's ok to call an UTG raise when holding some speculative hands. Again, just like w/completing from the sb, you'll be getting double the odds.
I also notice that your VPIP and PFR from late position are very close. It's ok to overlimp. You don't always have to raise or fold. Small sample, but it seems you aren't overlimping w/hands like 67s. You are either folding them (very bad), or raising them (not so bad). And it's occasionally ok to CCPF. A raise and two callers and you have 44............call.
You're ATS numbers look good though.
Overall, it looks like you are leaking from the blinds. I don't know what optimal numbers are. I'm at -.24bb/hand from the BB and -.13bb/100 from the SB. For all I know, I could be leaking from the blinds. But if you had those numbers from the blinds, you would be winning $98.64 more from the BB and $112.05 more from the SB. You'd be up $146.14 in 10,962 hands for a winrate of 1.33bb/100.
Conclusion: Work on your play from the blinds.
