It is still in experimental stages, but would you be willing to test the memory mode of Echion? (https://github.com/P403n1x87/echion). It is essentially tracing of all memory allocations. Mind that, if an allocation is followed by a matching de-allocation, it won't be reported; so if you profile from start till end, and all the memory is released, the profile should be almost empty (in reality this will almost never be the case); this might explain why the data doesn't seem to make sense from the tools you have tried already (assuming they do a similar thing).
