I did an amateur analysis of this game. Overall, it was a decent game, until pieces started being given away in the endgame. Sorry if my comments are incorrect/bad.

You are improving from your previous games with this longer time control.
I would focus on the following things next:
Opening principles - You are bringing the queen out too early and you are not getting your king to safety/connecting your rooks quick enough. You also are prematurely weakening pawns in front of where your king is going to go.
Basic tactics - I would do some tactics trainer as you are missing pins, skewers and some other basic tactics that once learned will improve your game back up into the 4 digit ratings.
As Alice pointed out your move 36 was bad (I would have given it ?? instead of just ?). You had a good attack at move 35. You had the bishop rook and pawn all attacking the f pawn and the f pawn was pinned to the king.
Keep up the good work, you're hanging less pieces than before (I'm wondering if the hanging of pieces at the end was also due to being low on time).
I also think near the end you could have drawn with proper play.
I annotated this draw position on top of Alice's other annotations.
Thanks both of you for the detailed annotations. I know that move at 36 was really bad, but It seems like I was thinking about defending my king from Ke2 that I forgot about my pawn.
Also I was running low on time, my opponent had like 7 minutes left and I only had like 4 at that time. lol
