Making a 1600 look like an expert

Same
His e and f pawn march only worked because I think it gained a tempo on your pieces like your knight and queen and the pawns also shut down your dark-squared bishop.
And also the opponent's bishop lodged itself in your position and he slowly gained the initiative by making your pieces defend and get out of attacks.
Well I'm only 1200 , but these were what I saw at first glance.
I have a knack for making 1600s look like experts, and this game is an example of that. As far as I can tell, I didn't make a big blunder, just a series of inaccuracies that enabled my opponent to improve his position slowly until he won a pawn and my position collapsed. I would like to know whether there are any mistakes that I didn't cite in my analysis, whether the moves I suggested instead of my mistakes were the right ones, and what my plan should have been. This was an OTB game, time control 100+10. Time pressure was not a factor. I have not done the computer analysis.
