A winning blunder???

Here's a game that I played recently:

By my opinion, 15. ...Qxg3 was a major blunder compared to 15. ...Bxd4. I submit the game to computer analysis, but all variations it suggested were too material-winning and not focusing on the mate. Also, if you see any other variations at further points in the main line that would apply better (aside from 33. Kh3 instead of 33. Kh1??), or any tempo losses I could have suffered, feel free to post them!

i'm not an expert but i think bxd4, queen takes bishop, horse takes queen, bishop to f4 (i no it's not forced at all but it's what i would do), q to b4 can force mate in a few turns with the pawn bisop and queen

which would be quicker than qxg3

You're right. I could have still played Qxg3, assuming 15. ...Bxd4 16. Qxd4 Nxd4 17. ...Qxg3 (17. Bf4 hangs his bishop).
