Stats for 6k hands don't really allow for much leak-finding, as some of the stats will be clouded by the luck factor which takes a larger sample for averages to stabilise (e.g. you might have kept 3-betting aces on the button and got called, or flopped sets 15% of the time. Your losses in early position are also likely - but not necessarily - due to variance).
Having said that, your pre-flop stats look pretty solid. You're a little too passive in the blinds, which is common for a beginner. Try raising or folding more often, as completing/calling and then playing a pot out of position is a good way to lose a ton of money in the long term. You can call with pocket pairs and trap with suited Broadways vs a late position steal attempt, but be more inclined to fold hands like KTo, A5s and J8s if you're currently playing these in the blinds, as these hands are easily dominated and you'll rarely get paid off well when you hit a miracle flop.
If it's folded around to you in the SB, then you should often be raising (anything big/suited/connected) as BvB stealing is crucial. (You've already realised how great the button is. Now mix in some of the hands you raise there into your SB opening range when there are limpers or no one in the pot).
We'd need to see your post-flop stats (c-bet, agg) to give much more advice, but please wait till you've got 10k total hands.
Finally, you're running above EV in all in situations, so you've been pretty lucky so far. Don't get too confident about your skills because of your decent winrate. A downswing could be right around the corner. You're looking good so far though.
