So the good news first: based on this photo it seems to fit you pretty well around the shoulders, neck, and chest. There is no 'collar gap' and the lapels sit flat without bowing. The amount of waist suppression looks good to me.
Minor things that can be fixed: the jacket sleeves are a bit long (probably would shorten about about 3/8-1/2".
The trouser legs are bit too slim for my taste but YMMV. They should be shortened to a very slight break or no break given how slim they are. Side and back views are needed to better assess how well the trousers fit.
Things that can't be fixed: the jacket looks way too short to me. No side/back views but I'd guess you'd need at least 2-3 inches to cover your seat.
Is this jacket in a regular length? If so, I'd suggest that you try a long length.

Thank you for your answer. Here's a back picture (without shoes). Do you think is acceptable having a shorter jacket being a short guy?

Yes, I agree that if you take my hand as a reference the jacket is very short, do you think it compromises the overal look?
Taking the pant fly as a marker it seems better (perhaps because I have slightly long arms for my height), and it covers almost completely my seat.

I think part of the issue, for me at least, is that the jacket cuffs line up with the bottom of the jacket. In addition to long arms, you have long legs, and the proportions would look a bit more even if the jacket were a bit longer.
