VP$IP is a bit high maybe...although 2.5K hands is a small sample size.Make sure you are not playing too many marginal hands in the first 5 seats.
Blind stealing is ok.
Amount won is good.
Win rate and BB/100 is solid;although this may even out once you hit the 10K mark.Table selection will be key.
Post some hand histories;esp ones where you lost a decent amount.That's where we can try to help out.
WentToSD is a bit low....I have that problem as well.Most likely means you are folding some winners at the end and that's why your Won$AtSD is high.
PFR is good.
Aggression Factor is ok.

You'd be 24/7 (VP/PFR), which is a bit loose passive for my liking.
Possible leaks I see: You are too aggressive post-flop and too passive pre-flop - I would quickly see you cont bet too often and I think I could probably beat you as a resulkt of my reads.
You don't use position AT ALL in your decisions to raise pre-flop. It's good that you don't limp too often in EP (relatively speaking) but you also need to be able to command the table more from CO and button - I'd want a PFR of at least half your VP on the button, ideally more.
You probably lose value by throwing away too many potentially winning hands. Combined with too many cont bets, this could be your biggest spew.

Ah - this is 6max, right (mainly)? Definitely raise more pre-flop - your PFR stat should be no less than half your VP stat. 24 is a fine VP stat for 6max, but I think you're actually a Tight Passive/Aggressive. Double the PFR stat and you'll be a dangerous TAgg.

24vpip is still quite loose. I think i know the context behind these stats but i think 20%vpip on this site in these games would be taking better oppertunity of the bad players.
7% is premium cards i guess so you could raise a few more JTs type hands if you get folded to in lp (particularly HJ/CO/Button) but just tighten up a bit for me as these stats are certainlt getting there more than they were imo, even though its only a very small sample.

After looking at your stats I think you are playing way too passively. For 6max a 24VPIP isnt bad by any means, but you need to be raising more than 7% of your hands PF to help balance that.
Your Stealing % is also very low, something near 30% is what I would shoot for, and will definitely make a noticeable impact on your winrate.
The biggest thing I noticed is that you WtSD is waaaay too low, giving you a very high W$SD, you are folding too many best hands. I think this also has an impact on your aggression stats. Preflop you are very passive playing a lot of hands and not raising much giving you a low aggression factor. Since you are folding so often on the flop you are really only continuing with the best hands which you are aggressive with so your AF will be higher on the later streets. This is going to make you incredibly readable, if you show aggression, you have a hand. At $25nl this wont matter a ton, but as you move up it will.
The other big thing I noticed was in your position stats image. You are raising less on the button than any other position except the blinds, you dont seem to be adjusting much for position at all which is something you need to do.
I think you can win playing this game, but I think your winrate will drop from what it is now and as you move up you will need to make these changes. So while this will beat $25nl for a decent amount, you should really be working on fixing these things to develop a solid game to work with that will beat the levels as you move up.
