the best what i can do with your table is:
(red lines show page layout)
you really need to reconsider about table content (make text in cells shorter, maybe with use of abbreviations and their explanations in table notes).
from your preamble i consider only necessary packages and add makecell for thead in column headers. also i use tabularx environment and reduce font size in table to \footnotesize. this should work with your document class too (but table can be narrower and consequently higher).
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{mathptmx} % selects Times Roman as basic font
\usepackage{booktabs, makecell, tabularx}
\renewcommand\theadfont{\bfseries}
\renewcommand\theadgape{}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}
%-------------------------------- show page layout, only for test
\usepackage{showframe}
\renewcommand\ShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
\renewcommand*\ShowFrameColor{\color{red}}
