So im not satisfied with my play when my opponent castles long as white and i often lose these games, i think i dont know the key ideas in these positions and i dont understand why i lose these games, any ideas?
I won't pretend that I can offer advice, but when the experts chime in, I am curious if your move 9 was sound. My understanding is that you generally attack in the direction that your pawns are pointing (which f4 does), but here it looks to me like you're just weakening your defense without attacking any clear target.
Pushing pawns in front of your king is kind of suicidal. Especially with the open g-file. Keep your king safe as long as possible. The safest king is usually with 3 pawns in front of him or even better when the pawns in front of your king are completely locked down (no pawn captures are possible)
Without any deep thinking or computer, I’ll just scroll real quick thru the game:
I wouldn’t advance your pawn to f4 from f5, your g7 bishop becomes bad for a while, I would instead start a quick attack on queen side or hit the center.
Later on in the game you gotta either get that bishop out by h5-Bh6 or at least have him guard your weak d6 pawn from f8. As the game went you were basically playing a piece down since bishop was not participating.
I don’t play KID so I can’t give you detailed opening ideas, but if I was to play KID I would study an opening repertoire DVD from ChessBase or something like that on the KID. I would watch over and over. Especially sections where white goes queenside castle.
Also, when the g-file is opened like that you gotta right away think about the typical pattern: Kh8, Rg8 and look for opportunities to play Rg2 or Rg1.
And of course use Stockfish, check every move, it will show you many ideas.

The whole point of 7...a5 is to follow up with ...Na6 and ...Nc5. You kept the knight too long at b8.
Once you got the knight finally out, your opponent gave you a fantastic opportunity to play 17...f3 and 18...Bh6 punishing him for his awquard queen move 17 Qb1.
The main tip is to think longer: you end this 10+0 time control game with 5 useless minutes on your clock i.e. you played as if it were 5+0.

I am no expert.. to me it looks like for black to:
- use the g-File (for example 15. ...Kh8 there is no black coloured bishop, h8 should be fine) get your rooks on the g-File
- don't waste time attacking the queenside (look at the position after 15.Qc2 - you should be able to hold centre and control the kingside. If white opens the queenside his king will get vulnerable and looses time)
- the white h-pawn is a weakness if rooks and queens are traded (on g-file) the white h-pawn can be attacked. After 15. Qc2 I would say in a abstract way your winning plan is exchange rooks and queens and win the h-pawn
- your white coloured bishop wants to be on d7
- your black coloured bishop wants to be on h5 and if he gets to the a7-g1 diagonal, especially controlling g1 means not letting the white rooks on g1. thinking about the black coloured bishop it is maybe to far away to play 15. ...f3 (hmm GM Ben Finegold rule.. never play... ) to give up the pawn to let the bishop on h6 has influence. If white takes the f3 pawn there could be pressure from black on the f-file..
finally I like the Kh8 idea with fighting for the g-line and don't take the h-pawn before the rooks and the queen are under control

I agree with the rest that a KID specialist could give you a better advice.
According to general chess theory when Kings are castling on opposite sides and center is closed an option is to start pawn storm against enemy king. Last means with a and b pawns. This is not the only option, but it means that the move 9... f5 is not a good idea because it weakens your king position.
In general it was a positional battle the result of which was that you lost your best piece the bishop on e6, and your opponent have a good outpost on d5, In short he has more active pieces. It is not a good option to open position when your opponent has more active pieces. Your black colored and bad bishop was busy in front of your king and not even protecting your weak pawn on d6. His best piece was Knight on d5. You have to exchange it for some of your pieces. Or to not give this square to all to white. Probably b6 except b5 was an option, after support from some figure. I will propose to you not to play it with the machine, because you will not have learn a lot in this way, but to get one board and to play different positions from the game against yourself. You have to try to win with both colors. Black I will try to exchange my bad Bishop and to move my King behind the pawn or to support d pawn after exchange of all or nearly all figures.

thank you guys <3
Well, it is a double edged position.
Though White has castled long his plan is to attack on the queenside. The same goes for Black . He has castled short and attacks on the kingside. This is quite unusual.
In my opinion you should have saced a pawn with f3. This is reasonable because you have a strong square on f4 and the white pawn on f2 is really nothing.
