The log file shows no late, dropped or duplicated frames. So from the OBS side, everything looks perfect.
If you have problems watching your stream, this could simply be twitch. In the last weeks we regularly have users reporting problems, simply because twitch is unable to deliver them a normal stream.
What you can do is activate the save to file option in your broadcast settings and select a filepath/filename. Then do another test and check the video afterwards. Also the recorded video on twitch can be downloaded and checked. If both are fine and show no lags, its simply a problem with twitch.

Ye I recorded a video and I don't see any lag. But When I watch my stream it keeps stop to load and buffer all the time. And it's not just a problem for me. How is this a twitch problem when I can watch other streams without having this problem? And is there anything you can do about this? :O

I would recommend to do a simple test, create an account on hitbox.tv and use the exact same settings, then try watching your stream. In 9 out of 10 cases you will have no problems watching it. On Twitch its at best a 50:50 chance. Weekends are extremely bad, europeans have more problems than americans to my knowledge. But in general, unless you drop frames or have late/duplicated frames, the stream you send out is fine and correct. The servers you send it to can receive it without problem. At this point its out of your hand, and twitch has to deliver it back to you. Thats where the problem begins, hence why I say its a problem with twitch.
Last tuesday I could watch one stream only in medium quality(thegdstudio), the next stream worked flawless in source with 3,5mbit(I think it was progamer) and a bit later even a 1mbit stream buffered from time to time (test stream by a obs user).

You can lower your bitrate and see if it stops buffering at one point, or try using different twitch servers, or try it another hour and the result might be totally different.
