Start a game against me.  I won’t beat you, I’ll show you basic ideas, then offer a draw.  We’ll play another game.... and I’ll show you other things.  You will learn a lot.  In the opening, chess is centrally focused... stay focused on that.

"... for those that want to be as good as they can be, they'll have to work hard.
Play opponents who are better than you … . Learn basic endgames. Create a simple opening repertoire (understanding the moves are far more important than memorizing them). Study tactics. And pick up tons of patterns. That’s the drumbeat of success. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (December 27, 2018)

"... In order to maximize the benefits of [theory and practice], these two should be approached in a balanced manner. ... Play as many slow games (60 5 or preferably slower) as possible, ... The other side of improvement is theory. ... This can be reading books, taking lessons, watching videos, doing problems on software, etc. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

"... thinking correctly in most positions takes time. Playing almost exclusively fast games obviously precludes practicing correctly, and so you will never get very good! Sure, fast games are fine for practicing openings (not the most important part of the game for most players) and possibly developing decent board vision and tactical 'shots', but the kind of thinking it takes to plan, evaluate, play long endgames, and find deep combinations is just not possible in quick chess. … for serious improvement ... consistently play many slow games to practice good thinking habits. ... I know that a large percentage of my readers almost exclusively play on the internet - after all, you are reading this on the internet, right!? But there is a strong case for at least augmenting internet play with some OTB play, whether in a club or, better yet, a tournament. Tournament play gives you the kind of concentrated, slow chess that often helps improve your game, especially if you are inexperienced at slow play. I would guess that players who have never played OTB usually gain 50-100 points of playing strength just from competing in their first long weekend tournament, assuming they play five or more rounds of very slow chess. ... Sure, an occasional weekend event takes a lot more of your time, but the benefits are comparatively greater if improvement is your ultimate goal. Don't have two day? Try a one-day quad (a round-robin among four similarly rated players). How often should you play? ... A minimum of 8 OTB tournaments and about 100 slow games a year is a reasonable foundation for ongoing improvement. ... Can't make 100? Then try for 60. If you only play three or fewer tournaments a year and do not play slow chess regularly at a club (or on-line, where G/90 and slower play is relatively rare), then do not be surprised that you are not really improving. ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2002)

Some tips for me: develop all of your pieces and make few pawn moves in the opening in general. Try to control the center. Dont make one move threats. Focus on a specific area of the board and dont move pieces towards a new target every move. Practice chess by playing many games. I suggest 10 min time control or 15 min with no increment at first (some people will disagree with me and say this is too fast but in my opinion, playing these time controls gives you lots of experience and this improved me all the way to 1700 from 950 when i first joined).

Here I have a recent game of mine where I feel I demonstrated these things. While my opponent did blunder the game, when I checked it in the analysis afterwards I saw I already had a decisive advantage before that. I was playing white:

Castling is one of the things you will have to think a lot about during a game in the future.  I'm not even too sure how your opponent as low rated as he is was able to see that if he castled queenside he could beat you.  One thing I learned is that a lot of attacking players always castle queenside and wait for their opponent to castle kingside and just pawn storm and win the game almost all the time.  You have to be careful about opponents like this.  If this happens even at your level then you must take at least some time to think about which side you are going to castle in the future if your opponent is delaying castling.
