2. I allowed his sneaky rook to get onto my 2nd rank and threaten pawns.

i'm Not a very good player but I will give my opinion 20 Nc1 saves the cpawn it seems .11. Bxf6 activates his queen , trades a bishop for a knight and allows him to double your pawns on the kingside . All 9 Na4 does it misplace your knight since you can't win the bishop pair .
I think the biggest blunder was to resign the game. Also I don't think loosing to a 1600+ player say much about whether you deserve a higher rating or not.
