Take more time to look at your opponent's moves.
On move 10, you could have taken the bishop on f5.
Ask yourself what your opponent could do if you made a move you are considering.
On move 19, you played Na4 and black took your knight.
A more difficult one to spot is when you retreated your queen on 31, but still important to see. Black forked your rook and queen with c4.
39. Qxg4+ could have saved you.

Have fun with your chess improvement.
The beauty of chess for me is in spending all your efforts into finding the best move, then executing your plans. Take a step back, overview what's happening on the board, and try to visualize what could happen when you play a move. Even if it's just thinking one move ahead, you'll be learning.
Dear Bitkiin,
I am a certified, full-time chess coach, so I hope I can help you. 
Everybody is different, so that's why there isn't only one general way to learn. First of all, you have to discover your biggest weaknesses in the game and start working on them. The most effective way for that is analysing your own games. Of course, if you are a beginner, you can't do it efficiently because you don't know too much about the game yet. There is a built-in engine on chess.com which can show you if a move is good or bad but the only problem that it can't explain you the plans, ideas behind the moves, so you won't know why is it so good or bad.
You can learn from books or Youtube channels as well, and maybe you can find a lot of useful information there but these sources are mostly general things and not personalized at all. That's why you need a good coach sooner or later if you really want to be better at chess. A good coach can help you with identifying your biggest weaknesses and explain everything, so you can leave your mistakes behind you. Of course, you won't apply everything immediately, this is a learning process (like learning languages), but if you are persistent and enthusiastic, you will achieve your goals.
In my opinion, chess has 4 main territories (openings, strategies, tactics/combinations and endgames). If you want to improve efficiently, you should improve all of these skills almost at the same time. That's what my training program is based on. My students really like it because the lessons are not boring (because we talk about more than one areas within one lesson) and they feel the improvement on the longer run. Of course, there are always ups and downs but this is completely normal in everyone's career.
I hope this is helpful for you. Good luck for your chess games!
Try to practice (openings , tactics , middlegames and endgames) also make sure to solve puzzles !!

No actual help, just one big advertisement to teach and get money. But he has a title so he is allowed to advertise?

spam really aint it
Hi! My name is Lauren Goodkind and I’m a chess coach based in California.
I have tips to help you improve your chess skills so you can win more games.
I recommend playing with a slow time control, such as game in 30 minutes. You need time to think. Beginners tend to make a lot of silly moves with very little time. This makes sense since there’s a lot of pieces on the board.
I also offer a free beginner’s free eBook on my website, www.ChessByLauren.com in case you are interested. The book is about asking questions before each move.
Before each move, I highly encourage you ask questions before every move such as, “If I move here, is it safe?”, “Can I safely capture a piece?”, and more.
Also consider all checks and captures on your side and also your opponent’s side.
Learn basic tactics such as the fork, discovered attack, pin, and more. I offer interactive puzzles on my website: https://www.chessbylauren.com/two-choice-puzzles.php
If you are serious about chess, I highly recommend you hiring a chess coach to help you.
I hope that this helps.
I'd really like to improve, but I have no clue what I should learn or practice. I'm also not sure what I'm doing wrong during most of my games either. (I feel like I just have trouble recognizing my mistakes or why they're mistakes)
I'd really appreciate some advice/tips or pointers. ^^
