BEA report suggests a probable 3t overload with a forward CG and insufficient selected Nose Up stabilizer trim setting. Boeing analysis found that if the copilot [Pilot Flying] had not hesitated during the initial control column pull and had applied more aggressive rotation [pull] that the airplane would have cleared the concrete localizer building.
