Catalytic converter efficiency below threshold bank 1 Sign In

I have a 2000 subaru legacy gt limited with 110000 miles on it. I've gotten the code from the title above for about the last year now off an on. I am not sure if it is due to a bad oxygen sensor or the catalytic converter. Another funny thing I have noticed is that whenever i turn the heater on the fumes get horrible in the car, not sure if this is related or not. I took some data of the O2 sensor so you can help me determine if maybe I have a laggy o2 sensor

If you're getting a PO420, then you need to replace the cat. You shouldn't be seeing all that cross counting in a downstream sensor.
