Try to play slow games, no blitz.

🔛The blunders are all on the board , waiting to be made!

That is so true for me too. Me uscf rating dropped to 1780 from 1840 just because I blunder away easy wins.

Are you finishing games with a lot of time on the clock?

are your blunders: just hanging pieces, tactical blunders, positional blunders, or just simply not knowing how to win won positions i.e.( king and 2 connected pawns v king), some combination of the four?

I play quite fast so that seems to be part of the problem, but I almost always outplay my opponent, but then can't reign in the win

Obtaining a wonderful position is a good way to start a game but remember  one must say more than merely boo.

Is your issue that u tend to blunder back material or that you are not very strong at trading down won positions to winning endgames

Stop blundering.
