I like your position before you blundered the rook though. Rc5 seems a good move, preparing Rac8 or Rc4.

Thank you ..I was also thinking about Rc5.i rarely come across d4 thats why i wasn't used to it. i noticed at 16th move , instead of moving bishop i should have played 16.Qb2+ 17.Kh1 17.Rxb4 winning a bishop

your rating is about 1000, so no, you are not playing particularly well, sorry don't wanna offend you, but you have to be realistic, otherwise this will hurt your progress. if your opponent is always a piece ahead, then you are missing simple tactics, simple as that. solution: do more tactics.

@FishEyedFools Thanks for analysing , i dont know what isolated pawn mean but I'm sure I'll learn it in my next lessons. by playing 8.b4 i was trying to put bishop at the centre and ignored knight on g1.I played 12.Nc6 to take queen away from centre. I was eagerly waiting to double my rooks by taking out rook on a8 after developing LSB and thats why i blundered. Thanks again for analysing , i learned a lot from them.... ohh and this is my dads account , i closed my account

An isolated pawn is a pawn that cannot be protected by another pawn.

In the diagram, blacks d-pawn is an isolated pawn. It cannot be protected by another pawn.
