Your clothing is exceptionally light. Unsure what you gonna use the multi-tool for as all your stuff is super light apart from a coffee machine
Are those weights all accurate? Did you actually weigh them on a kitchen scale?
You've got three ways to start fire, two to open a can, two to find North, three to carry water.
I'd ditch the hydration pack and the Nalgene and carry two water bottles. That might cause problems with the steripen, but I'd buy a Sawyer Squeeze.
You should also swap that MSU visor out for a PSU visor.
Ican ditch the matches and its container and the sparker.
I really like my water containers though, I can carry enough to simply get water just once in camp. Also in a warm day with 14 miles between sources I actually ran out. And I do like being able to walk and drink.
I'm not completely sold on the Sawyer, looks like a PITA to operate with its small mouth bags.
Mississippi State, not Michigan.
Unless you love it, I’d recommend swapping out your hammock. ENOs are notoriously heavy and short. You could do a nice Dutchware Gear 11’ netless for cheap (or easily make your own). Also consider swapping out the slap straps for dyneema straps and some sort of titanium buckles. Tons of lightweight choices and options there.

Winter, cusp or summer gear? Makes a big difference with clothing and sleeping gear.
Gear list only really work if you include everything and then you can start working on reducing the weight. It should also include all weights, as I see some of your clothing weighs nothing.
No electronics, phone etc No drybag/garbage bag/ compression sacks etc
Start a consumables category and move gas canister etc to that.
Heres mine to compare and maybe get some ideas. I used other peoples as a template that suited me. https://lighterpack.com/r/czb3eu

It's a shoulder season list. (40 deg quilt + down jacket/beanie/buff) In summer I remove the buff and down jacket. For winter I have a 15 deg BA bag with heavy pad and add a another LS layer and pants.

+1 on what people have said (especially the PSU hat).
You are pretty light. You are at the point (like me: http://lighterpack.com/r/c5r5rf) where its gonna be big $$$ to get much lighter.
I'm a bit of a hammock snob and kinda frown on Eno, especially when you're cutting weight everywhere else.
Do you have a bug net?
Dutch just came out with a good light netted hammock for about 150 with suspension. Either beetle buckles or whooped both will be a good bit lighter (and easier/faster to adjust)

Look at warbonnet, dream hammocks, and dutch extensively
there are other options out there of course, but for netted hammocks those guys are kinda at the top of the game, in my opinion.
Dutch's new hammock, which he called the Swift but is renaming because apparently there's another company that has a swift hammock, is lightweight with a bug net and is like a streamed down Chameleon - his main hammock.
I hiked the whole AT with a warbonnet blackbird XLC (if your 6 foot or taller, get an 11 foot hammock) and was quite happy with it. They just released a nice updated version of the blackbird as well, so it's a great time to buy. If the new features don't matter to you, i reckon you can find an older model for sale at a decent price now.
do yourself a favor and check out hammockforums.net there's a wealth of information over there
I found lithium batteries in the Steripen knocked a few oz. off and last me for about 6 weeks of hiking.
