Multiple predictive factors. I don't know how to conclude this problem in my data or infer it.

You have either

  1. Zero degrees of freedom for error (so you have six variables in the model and only 7 data points)
  2. Fit the model so that it fits exactly, leaving an estimate of 0 for each residual

 

Both indicate you have overfit the model, and you ought to consider removing a variable(s) from the model.

This is my 5th backward stepwise selection. Is it possible to not add anymore variables and keep the variables that entered in my model?

I don't understand the question. It would also help if you told us how many data points you have.
