You can look for moments in which your opponent got an advantage, then look at previous moves to see how you could have prevented it. Also, I find it handy to review my games with my opponent after the game, because we saw different things and can increase each other's understanding of the whole game.
Review your games

Computer evaluation.
Then review the CPU evaluation at a later time.

Computer evaluation has its uses, but try looking at your games without the help of an engine first. And as coffeethyme mentioned, the best way would be to discuss the game with your opponent in a postmortem. This is more common in OTB chess, of course. But I sometimes do it on chess.com as well.
If you decide to learn chess, earlier or later you will face the advice: review your games, try to learn from them. Moreover, some people suggest, that review your games is almost has the same importance as playing games itself. But my question is: how? On a basic level, how do you learn things this way? If I study one of my game, I see that "oh, there is a bad move" but I can't find out the good one. Or "oh, I didn't know this opening line, so I didn't take the right moves"... So what are your experiments? How important is reviewing the games, and how do you usually learn from them?
