Where did I blunder in this game?

Hi everyone,

I recently played this 10-minute game and felt that the position was fairly balanced in the middlegame, but somehow I lost control and eventually got checkmated.

I'm around 450 rating, and I'm trying to improve my tactical awareness and calculation.

One thing I noticed is that the early queen moves from my opponent looked strange, but I still ended up losing material later.

I would really appreciate it if someone could point out:

• My biggest mistake in the game
• What I should have played instead
• Any general advice for players around my rating
