Firstly, you played a good game against a stronger player. The most obvious suggestion is to play on longer. You are a pawn up. The backward pawn may not seem much use now, but if black needs to take the pressure off the e-file due to threats elsewhere, you may be able to push it to undemine c4. If white tries to prevent this with f5, you have another target there. The endgame may be difficult but white should be able to eke out a win.
