In the first game I'd say you had to play 4.e5 attacking the black bishop and gaining more space, then c3 if ...Bb4+ and d4 making a nice dark square pawn wall on the center and queenside, then castle and try to make a kingside advance, instead of Bd3 which kind of blocked the development of your bishop on c1 allowing the Kf2 that won your rook, but after that, your technique is alright, I don't comment on the rest because it would have been a totally different game after 4.e5, overall a good game though. In the second game you played an interesting positional structure with 1.e4 g6!? but needed to take more care of your kingside castled position which was cleaned by the white pieces because of their central preponderance, in contrast to your most recent games it's noticeable how you've added more dynamism in tactics so I think that shows an improvement but in reference to the games in this video I could advice that before trying to make a plan of attack you have to focus on strengthening your central position, if you control central squares then you control the flanks and can start planning more precise things after taking care of the security of your king, interesting games though, cheers.
I just noticed there's no ...Bb4+ but after 4.e5 then d4 developing the bishop on c1 was also considerable, with the same idea of planning a kingside advance.
