I played this the other day.  Things were going well after white declined a pawn sac trap with no compensation and then blundered so I was up two pawns.

But the question comes up on my 21st move.  I chose to try to get white's queenside pawns forward and undefendable, a mistake.

Any ideas about how to procede from black's 21st?

This was a 5 min blitz game.

unlucky that you lost on time after Nc6 you are winning.

Interesting game your oppenent played a terrible opening you shoud have taken him out

it is true that after nc6 you were winning because then on the king side your king could go rampant and win the game, an unfortunate loss.

On my game:

32...Nc6

33. Nb4!? Kc7? (...Nxb4? b8=Q)

34. Nxc6 and black can't take either or lose material.

But, looking at it, black can play 33...Nb8! (not that good but only move) . I think black still has a bit of an advantage but the knight is very passive until the king spends a few moves to get out of position and take the pawn.

capurera2's game:

Interesting idea on 17. Bh3!? either he trades and you double up on the h file faster or you can dominate the diagonal and either way you get more control of d5.

19. Nxa5 - it happens.

Black just blundered his pieces on a faulty attack. And then walked into #.  Nice opening knowledge though, on both sides.
