In the middle game - I play tight and only plat strong hands.

In the end game - I play loose again (why? I'm a loose player and that's my style)

This strategy will get r done
But you left out one important thing.
Play within your affordability and lose the gambler mentality.
Though gambling is needed in poker to win, patience and consistant smart plays will pay you off far better in the long run.
Limit your risk taking and work on your position betting skills.
Poker is not a card game, it is a betting game.
Learn to bet proper.
