It is normal to lose games in the beginning while you are not that strong. Mistake is a mistake, a blunder is a really big mistake.
Here is a guide for you that can help you out... slowly but steadily:

Is it normal for a beginning chess player to lose every game? I do not know if it is normal, but I certainly did. It takes time to develop a better board vision.
I remember taking an unguarded knight with my queen, then this bishop came out of no where to take my queen!
Spend lots of time doing tactics puzzles so that they can show you how to play chess.

Are there any key things to remember while playing? Even though I know the basic principles of chess, I always find myself making the wrong move/not knowing how to plan ahead. I can’t even play against assisted Jimmy without struggling. Also, what constitutes a mistake or blunder?
Thanks!

First learn a solid opening with white and do not play Nc3 or Nf3 or c4 or G3......
Play slower game like a 15+10 and think carefully on each move you make and your opponent make.
Maybe you will like the london system?

check the square youre about to move into for any possible threats from the other side. look at every one of their pieces and ask yourself, can they move into that square?
Looks like you are playing rapid.. What's the time settings? I'm new and doing alright, but I play super slow formats to have time to analyze positions. Can't rely on pattern recognition for patterns we don't know yet. That's been my experience anyway. But maybe doing it your way and speeding through until it works is "better training" - I honestly don't know. Also Jimmy's an adaptive bot, not the easiest - He sometimes goes superhuman mode for a couple moves.

Can I just ask why? I am new and interested in this as I thought Nc3 and Nf3 were normal development moves and normally good squares for the Night?
Thanks

It's the advice i got from a GM rated at is peak at 2613 in 2017( Sebastien Maze),he is an expert in positional play and he love to start his opening with these moves and he has many videos explaining how to play only positional moves and win games, but that in his opinion those opening are for players above 1600 Elo minimum.

Well, to be fair, I did drop it for two years haha. I guess I should probably play slower games, though.

Not onlt Nf3 and g3 but not c4 etc etc..only e4 and d4! of course there are exception,you can see some players in club that play only c4 at lower level and beat almost everyone,but they are a lot harder to play well!

It is arguable who are the better players. Those of the past, or those of the present, so I believe that a combination of book/board training along with the internet as a tutor should cover the basics. I’m giving it a shot.
You can't say better, bc that implies that are better at the game, not at improving. Talented works in that place. Obviously the top gms today are better than the top gms 100 years ago. Are they more talented? Who can say.
I disagree that today’s too GM’s are “better.” They play differently since the advent of computers, but I would not lay wager on any one being, “better.”
I disagree todays GM are better than the ones of the past accuracy wise.
Yes. It’s normal to lose every single game. Believe me.

Do you believe that chess is all IQ or do you believe training and knowledge are part of it?
So you believe today's players have better training. I think everyone agrees with that.
I won my first uscf otb game due to ff no show
Until a certain point, yes... over time you will gain vision of the board and inevitably you will win games. Much patience. Cheer up!

Then won my second bc a no show
Then won my third bc it was a 5 yo, and I told her that (do not read if you are in elementary school, it will change your life forever. Don't say I did not warn you)
Santa clause is not real, and that she was adopted
