You're doing OK. You're making excellent progress in Problems, keep that up. See if you can do those even slower, get your mistake rate down to 1 in 5 or lower. The most important thing at your level is to avoid blunders. Your recent loss in a 7day game, for example, you were doing OK against a higher-rated player until you blundered your queen. It's a 7day game so there is really no excuse for not noticing that your queen was under attack. Look, look again and look some more in every position. Checks, forcing moves, threats. There's nothing I can tell you that will magically make you better at this. Just keep doing puzzles and playing slow time controls. You will get faster at it with practice, but you have to practice it slow.You also seem kind of lost in the opening. It doesn't hurt to read / watch some videos about opening theory. Pick one or two openings that make sense to you and use them in every game until they start to feel comfortable. Theory won't matter if you keep blundering, but you're less likely to blunder when you understand your position, and you're almost at the skill level where a good opening will really make a difference.
Lot's of good remarks here, personally, I am doing good by focusing on achieving 100 rating points at a time. That's working very reliable for me so far even without reading how to get to 1500-2000. Still finding huge game changing improvements in the first 3-5 opening moves. This is a specific thread on how to get to 600+ with stability. I like this response by nartreb

As someone who is struggling to get out of 800, my penny worth is; take the lessons available with whatever your membership level is, play the bots, use takebacks if you mess up.. your here to learn, not be be punished. I have recently tried a particular opening as white and from 8 games I have 1 draw (my bad!) and 7 wins, don’t try and learn everything, just learn enough to get by
i think puzzles would help alot for middlegame which is most important
early games and end games u will learn overtime
Rating doesn't matter for beginners. Better to prioritize learning chess than trying to improve rating.

Just play chess.
Playing chess for 5-6 hours a day (a bit overkill) helped me to get to the rating I am now, studying almost nothing.

Id say that studying is better than playing due to the fact you could be studying your 3956th line of the open siccilian instead of playing.

Ok forget about this, There is only 230+ lines in the open siccilian and im willing to learn all of em, But i dont have the moni to buy the course on it.
realizing what your move does 0.013857739493 seconds after the move needs to be before the move

The book

Just stop playing d4. Probably will help with tactics!
