I only got through about a hundred hands (the two most recent sessions, and only part way through the 2nd one) and I'm a spewy fish so take all of this for whatever it's worth.
Main leaks:
You're too tight from the button. In particular, read up on blind stealing.
You're playing very tight-passive. Raise lighter from position. 3bet light a little, look for players with TAG stats and 3bet them light when IP, figure out what fold
equity you need with whatever raise size you use and if you have that, raise (consider their raising range compared to their 3bet calling range and your image).
You seem uncomfortable playing against shortstacks (any time they have cards really), I think you need to figure out what sort of ranges you're happy to play for stacks with against SSers and how much fold equity you do or don't have against them. Playing timid when they're at the table kills your edge against all of the deepstacks.
Not playing enough hands against fish.

I 3bet/fold here. Probably fold because I'm not really happy playing for button's stack with A5 pre-flop and I can't see any good line post-flop after just calling.

Easy shove. c/r has almost no fold equity. The main reason I mention this hand (other than the pre-flop call) is because most of your drawy hands so far have been played very passively and I'm guessing your flop check here was hoping to draw to your hand. You're right for not wanting to
bluff a 41/5 fish, but with your equity here and stack sizes semi-bluff shoving is the best line.
You were unlucky to run into QQ, but to be honest I expect him to have a pair when he bets the pot and I think even 66 likely calls your c/r.

Not the best spot to be loosening up. You've played tight and there are some spots I think you can cash in on the credibility you've earned, a few hands ago you open folded 72s on the button which I'd much rather raise than A4s UTG, you've also folded your SB every time so far I think and BB is TAGy, another better spot to raise next time you see any two remotely playable looking cards (57o, K8s will do). The difference between this and raising A4s UTG is that in the situations I suggested you're either in position or out of position against one player, not out of position against an entire table (including one calling station).

UTG is the table's resident fish running at 40/5 making this a standard iso raise or at least a call. I'm guessing you've been avoiding him because he is short stacked and because you can't bluff him often, but situations like this really are easy money. KT really dominates a 40% range and when you're playing a range like that, hands like KT a real nuisance to play against because all of your T's and K's are dominated as well as smaller pocket pairs or flopped middle pairs.
You're ahead of his range. You have position. He's a fish.
Next table, which is actually the previous table, but whatever, next table.

5 handed, KJ is a raise from any position, imo.
I mention this because I'm making the assumption that you just didn't adjust for short handed play and if you don't normally adjust, it's something to keep an eye on.

Why are you raising here?
You've passed up a ton of hands that had some equity in this situation and raise 26o against a 20/3 (30 hands) and a 26/16 (19 hands). I agree with the raise, mostly because you're not stealing very wide and have a lot more credibility than you need for this, but why 26o and not something like Q8o? If you want to have as tight a stealing range as you have, fold the 26o and raise the next semi-playable hand you see when on the button (K3s will do).
The point is if you're going to play tight and cash in on your credibility from time to time, do it with the same frequency but with stronger hands rather than just when you feel like it.

Ok in this hand BTN is 15/10, SB 50/0 and BB 35/20, all after 20 hands so sample size isn't much, but being 4 handed in the CO against a tight button with SB most probably a fish (he's called 10 out of 20 hands and never raised, even after only 20 hands it's pretty good hint) this is a really standard isolation raise.
