Hello I have attached an image of a common position I end up in after opening. It's White (me) to move. I'm very much a beginner. Other than generally trying to avoid blunders, what strategies should I be pursuing here? I'm uncertain what my next moves should be, and cannot work out why the chess engine suggests certain moves. I am thinking Ne5 and then push the f pawn to try and disrupt Black's kingside pawn structure? I struggle to think of a viable option, as the position seems quite closed from White's point of view? If so maybe I should consider a different opening.
Thanks!
