The game ended quite nicely. Since you were dominant, I wouldn't have traded queens at 18:00 and would have moved it somewhere on the 2nd rank (d2 or b2) to maintain the pressure. And then following up with Rc8 to threaten Rc1 would be gg. At 4:10, your opponent missed Qa7. Your winning position would have become even again if your opponent spotted it. Now, let's pretend that it's not a blunder and your opponent can't win the knight. The question is where does your knight go? Developing your queen to d7 blocks the knight and bishop, and the pawn on b5 is annoying. On top of all that, the queen on d7 has nowhere to go. It basically gave your opponent a free move. You want to get your minor pieces developed asap in the Dutch.
