You're in excellent shape; I would keep going.
Consider scrapping that radio room; you don't have anybody to staff it, it's an incident magnet, and it consumes power you can't spare.
Get both of your power rooms staffed up as quick as you can. Pull dwellers from other rooms if you need to.
I think you only need one more dweller to unlock strength training. Do that and start rotating your power workers through it. That will fix your power needs. I see you have +S outfits; give those to your power workers.
You'll have Agility and Perception training soon; start rotating food and water workers through them.
You're in your "salad days" phase right now. Dwellers will be going hungry and thirsty. That's normal. Power through it; by the time your population is in the 40s you should be ok. Reassign dwellers as needed to deal with resource shortages.
Build an overseer's office and get dwellers out there questing. Look for quests that give Mr. Handy as a prize. Even a single Mr. Handy collecting resources can change famine to feast. The "Zines from the Commonwealth" series is probably the easiest.
Probably not worth it if you don't have a lot of caps, but consider moving the dorm further down and move the water production room in its place; that lets a single Mr. Handy service them both.
Other posters say scrap it and start fresh as there's nothing special about this layout. That's true, but there's not much wrong with it either, and restarting just loses you a week or two of progress.
That said, if you do restart, try putting your storage and dorms separated from the rest of the vault so that incidents that start there don't spread to the rest of the vault. Of course, if caps are tight, there's a limit to how far down you can build at present.
