I'm winning more as Black?!

With White my win/loss ratio is a terrible 41/56%

With Black it is 53/43%.

I play defensively as black and usually attack during the middle/end game, as the opponent makes mistakes.

With white I tend to be aggressive in the opening, favoring a King's Pawn Opening.  I think it's called the Italian Game, Knight Attack.  I often end up castling King-side.  Perhaps I should play more defensively?

It's essential to strike a balance between aggression and solid positional play.

Same for me, I defend better than I attack and hence win more games as black than white. I actually hate it when I have the white pieces. And yes, I KNOW I need to be able to attack better to win with white to become a more complete player. Working on it.
