We present the first lattice calculation of the nucleon isovector unpolarized generalized parton distribution (GPD) at the physical pion mass using a lattice ensemble with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved staggered quarks (HISQ) generated by MILC Collaboration, with lattice spacing $aapprox 0.09$~fm and volume $64^3times 96$. We use momentum-smeared sources to improve the signal at nucleon boost momentum $P_z approx 2.2$ GeV, and report results at nonzero momentum transfers in $[0.2,1.0]text{ GeV}^2$. Nonperturbative renormalization in RI/MOM scheme is used to obtain the quasi-distribution before matching to the lightcone GPDs. The three-dimensional distributions $H(x,Q^2)$ and $E(x,Q^2)$ at $xi=0$ are presented, along with the three-dimensional nucleon tomography and impact-parameter--dependent distribution for selected Bjorken $x$ at $mu=3$ GeV in $overline{text{MS}}$ scheme.
