Brief Answer:
No its not due to iron overload.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your TIBC is normal and your UIBC id slightly low. Though your iron saturation is slightly higher than normal it doesn't indicate iron overload. Even chronic inflammation may leads to this changes. So its not suggestive of iron overload.
Don't worry about that. Just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic.
Wish you a very good health.
