Tips for Self-Analysis

I cannot afford premium ranks for chess.com, unfortunately. I'm pretty new to chess altogether, and would like some tips for self-analysis. This game here (I'm not sure if png is the best way of posting it) is one of my better games. I'm playing as black here. Maybe one of you who reads this can put it into the engine. However, what are some tips for me to analyze this? I feel like I could have played even better!

If presently you can't afford the chess.com feature, you can go to lichess.org. It has computer analysis available for free. However, chess.com one is more user friendly as it summarized a bit better. I will rate chess.com analysis mode 9.5/10 and lichess a 9/10.

There is an option under "theme" when posting to flip the board by default. Also, there is a basic engine under learn->analysis. I would suggest reviewing games you lost, it is your weaker games that are keeping you down, not your stronger ones. There are things to learn from games you won, but the games you lost will likely have more things to review.
