Brief Answer:
No serious abnormality

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,

Actually there are no significant abnormalities in your findings. Usually 10% variations in resting heart rate is normal, yours a bit more.
Such variations and increase in heart rate with slight physical activity can be observed in overweight people, or people who don't exercise much or are too nervous.
I would advise you to follow healthy lifestyle, and your heart rate fluctuations will become less over time

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
