My first chess game!

I just won my first game. I wanted to use analysis to find out what I did wrong. There were errors in the form of a centipawn loss but the mistakes weren't significant enough for computer to highlight and give me alternatives. Is anyone willing to explain what I was lacking and how I can do better? I want to find the better plan, and to learn why if black played the best moves that was better than what I chose in the game.
You played a perfect game. 15 cp loss means nothing, its very low for humans, and as far as I know, you can't really get 0. Very impressive considering you say this is your first chess game, happens rarely for an experienced chess player as well.

@FynnActon You said I played close to perfect, what did I do wrong, in theory and why is the theoretical better , better? Even better if it's a concrete proof and not just in theory type thing
@IAmMateCheckMate Whenever I play a game I intend to deliver a performance that makes my opponent feel like they wasted their time. Something they will never be able to do. I grew up finding my footing by putting others beneath me and have been a generally competitive and ambitious person. Since growing and eventually having some accomplishments under my belt, I have refined that and taken it a little further. I am always the champion and the other guy is always the challenger. Simply how I like to live and the more it brings results, the more it deserves to be doubled down on and upheld.
Basically why I am asking what could be better than this? I played the most logical moves according to my own values and assumptions, if there was a centipawn loss at all, what am I misunderstanding? Why isn't the better play apparant to me and how do I elevate my game to the next level? Honestly, during the game I felt like I was being decisive and just "Going with something" when I hoped for the Qb4 line. In hindsight, I also feel a little bit ashamed that I considered Bf4 , that my first instinct isn't as active or incisive as I would like it to be. I'm a LoL player, and I know full and well that you haven't really mastered a skill when you have to think about it on a base level. My responsibility is to become a player who can play consistent, incisive and strong chess on an "autopilot" level instead of being all green and learning / considering the lay of the land instead to just execute on it.
