I had a good attack but I did not see an immediate win for myself.Why did my opponent resigned here?

The position is extremely difficult to hold onto, your queen and white squared bishop are eyeing down an eventual checkmate.

You have a passed pawn, after playing e7, check, black losses a rook and that forces on move 22 black to play Qe7 to stop your pawn advancing, as a result your knight to h6, is checkmate.

So you did have an immediate win :)

after e7 Rf7 is possible which saves the rook.The game could go like this 

22...fxg4 23.e7 Rf7 and I do not see an immediate win...
