Check the A/C. If the high side pressure is high (over 350 lbs) the engine will run hot because the temp/pressures are relative so the condenser in front of the radiator could be running 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

You may need to do a cooling system service. Flush, hoses, new coolant etc.

Try bleeding air from system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.

If you cannot bleed the air out there may be a leaking head gasket. Subaru's. Got to love them ;)
