When he played 4...Ba6, I just carried on playing the standard Kings Indian Attack, but in this case I should have altered the plan, playing Be2 so that I could castle safely.
In the position below, I miscalculated and played Bf1, overlooking that taking back with the Knight leaves me unable to castle. I could have in fact trapped his bishop by playing b4 followed by e5.

Qa4+ was way to optimistic and played without calculation otherwise you would have seen that b5 would make you lose a piece.
After that blunder you exchanged to much pieces so that you didn't have any counterplay left.
Playing a lot online improved my tactical vision essentially, maybe it can help you too.
