Hi the whole page is not resized, because your not completely following the Bootstrap grid syntax.

Some recommendations:

You should update the viewport meta to this:

<meta content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0" name="viewport">

Avoid inline CSS

Avoid using fixed values in your custom css as element won't resize.

You may want to use premium theme to save time and you can also learn from it.
