It's kind of long but that's GM Jessie Kraai on the art of game analysis. Hope it helps.
I looked at your profile, and it seems that you can not analyse your game yourself, you need at least 500 higher rated friend, and i hope he will analyse better.
For further information, you can post your game on my forum and there you may find good experienced players, who are willing to help other

Go through the game without using a chess engine. Try to identify critical moments where the position shifted in favor of one side or the other.
Look for moves that felt uncomfortable during the game or moves you were unsure about.
After you've done your initial analysis, use a chess engine to verify your conclusions. Pay attention to the engine's suggestions and understand the reasoning behind them.
If possible, discuss your games with stronger players or a coach. They can provide valuable insights and alternative perspectives.
He can analyze his games. He just needs a stronger player to explain to him what he doesn't understand about the game, and the weaker player's misconceptions, among other things. The stronger player cannot help the weaker player dismantle their misconceptions about their own game if he doesn't say anything, that's why even a beginner needs to analyze his games.
Silman once said, "turn off the engine," and I would listen to Silman rather than chessmasteryofficial.
A beginner shouldn't even buy an engine. They should just just go over there games with stronger players. When they are higher rated they can do so, but until they are about 2000, probably best to skip engine analysis. That is my observation after reading several threads about beginners who stopped playing chess because they found answers to certain moves played by a GM in a book and decided it was a "waste of time" to look at chess books.
Engline analysis is for higher level players. That is my opinion. Silman agree's somewhat.
I've heard of beginners spending hours upon hours going over alternate lines after the computer gives them lines. (and doing that made them quit chess.) I don't want to hear about you doing the same as them. Don't, look at computer moves...
I am very confused on how to analyze my games to fully understand what mistake I did and how I can avoid it in future games, can anyone tell me tips on how to?
