Four things to learn:
1. The opening principles (that is not the same as ‘an opening’, just google ‘opening principles chess’;
2. Don’t give away free pieces and pawns and take free pieces and pawns that are given to you;
3. Basic endgames (k vs 2 rooks, k vs queen, k vs 1 rook, backrank mate, supported mate);
4. Learn to analyse your own games with focus on the first 3 topics. It takes time to learn to apply those things.

This is a better example game:
On move 7, the most obvious move is to take your opponent's knight and be up a piece. Instead, you quickly played a move that lost the queen.
Don't make random moves very fast. Don't play on autopilot. Use your time and think. Try to play good moves.
