I don’t know how to improve and what to work on I feel like my mid game is where I am losing a lot of material

It's kind of a popular subject on the forums.  I'd say work on your tactics.  "Pattern Recognition" seems to be the holy grail of improvement.  I'm sure you'll get a boatload of advice, but while you're waiting...

You should use youtube. You can learn a lot of cool things. Here is a good channel to get started. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLXYjOKeyT-KCwK09Bvvxwg?sub_confirmation=1

There are no magic moves. Grind it out, take the game deep and wait for opponent to make mistakes

I agree with ScrambledEggsNBacon. I rarely played anything longer than 5-10 minute games. I did that for years. Now it's hard to slow down and play a 15-20 minute game because I'm still blitzing out moves that lead to blunders. I have to break those bad habits and take my time to analyze the position. It takes work. Practice, practice, practice.

Don't care too much about your ratings point and don't care too much about making very fast progress Because it won't happen. You have about all the ressources you need on chess.com, chessbase, youtube, chessable. Look for content that you like and let yourself Go with the flow.

Dear Chessfriend,

My name is Gabor Balazs. I am a Hungarian FM, fighting for the IM title. My top ELO is 2435. I have been playing chess for 21 years. I won the Hungarian Rapid Championship twice (U16 and U18).

I love teaching chess and it is very important for me that both of us enjoy the lessons beside the hard work. I have pupils almost all the levels from beginners to advanced players (1100-2200 ELO).

Why should you choose me?

- I have a widespread opening repertoire (a lot of openings are analysed by strong Grand Masters).

- I have a lot of chess books in PDF and Chessbase format, so I can teach you the main middlegame plans, the art of calculations, famous chess games and the endgame theory.

- I have elaborated, personalized training plans, which help you to improve your skills effectively.

- I help you analyse your games deeply, so you can realise your mistakes and learn from them.

- I am really flexible and hard-working person, the quality of my work is really important for me.

Please, contact me (balazsgabor1991@gmail.com), if you are interested in working with me, I am looking forward to your message.
