At move 10 your knights should have taken a piece. Either Nxc4 or Nxe3 instead of c6.
Thanks, but which take is better, Nxc4 or Nxe3?

The computer lines show black taking both eventually. The reason could be that black has a bishop on c8 which can reroute to g6. The confusing part I see is getting those pawns off the light squares. After taking the bishops you play d6. If white doesn't cooperate like Stockfish is showing, you push the b pawn like it's a g pawn for white. Then the a pawn and together for an attack with the bishop on e6 instead.
In the game you left your a pawn back probably because you did nothing with the knight on the a file. So, that is what I would take from the game, if you move your knight to the sides, do something with it. Don't just leave it there.
Thanks IsraelWarCriminal. Good luck on your chess carrier!

Move 4 the center fork trick at least equalizes for black. Instead of 4...Bc5, 4...Nxe4 5. Nxe4 d5 forking the knight and bishop. It doesn’t win material unless the other guy blunders but it definitely gives black favorable chances.
8. ... d6 to finish development and not move a knight to the rim as the piece attacks and defends less there. That knight move cost you the e-pawn. Look at what a move un-protects before making it.
I think at 14. ... you suffered "move blindness", that is no where for the knight to go. Did you think ... d5xBc4 ; d3xc4 Qc7 ; b4 and the knight is lost, if so there is the blindness because the knight can take on c4 as the d3 pawn is no more. Maybe you just straight missed PxB
15. ... you have to notice your knight is attacked, don't go a piece down and as luck would have it you have ... Na5xBc4
At 16. ... f6, well you have seen the battery on [g7] but is there a better solution, well there is an inbetween move ... Qg5+ which protects [g7] and then it is back to worrying about the Na5 Bc4 stuff.
The rest of the game is a mutual exchange of blunders, not tactics.
It is (but not in the context here) a good idea to put your rook on the same file as their queen, although by blunder you did get the reward for that.
I think you are the stage of holes in tactics which reduce over time.
Thank You Everyone! I will follow you tips!

I thought about “d5xBc4 ; d3xc4 Qc7 ; b4 and the knight is lost”. How do I get rid of the move blindness?
So I played this chess game a while ago. I am not sure of how I played. May someone give tips and advice for future games? Thanks.
