I think breaking the center was the move better than to develop the queen , as you were castled and they wasn't and you open the file to his king, and the pawn exchange was in your favor , as your pawn would be better placed attacking the center. Also developing to the queen early comes with risk and being chased around, losing tempo.
Fischer once spoke about not allowing opponents pieces your your own half of the board, not always easy, but worth baring in mind. The knight in your half is dangerous, thought you might have moved your knight to e5 ( 20:38 ) stopping their pawn attacking your knight when you exchange off their strong knight with your light bishop. Then chase off the other knight with your pawn on f3 when/if they retake the e4 square with their other knight. Also exchange off their dark bishop with your knight on b3 afterwards, would have been my plan. Or another plan to get rid of the e4 knight. Generally exchange off or scare off opponents strong pieces in games, a protected knight in the opposition half can be worth 4 or 5 points as opposed its usual 3 of a normal knight. You have it in you to blow these opponents away, stick with the London, you are getting better. You were castled you were fully developed, their king was exposed , he had some more development to do, if you managed to exchange off or scared off his attacking pieces you were in front.
Do play it, its ideal, its very solid, it has lots of automatic moves, it hard to break down for opponents, ideal for beginner upwards, not much theory to learn as opposed other openings.

Screaming at my phone not to go Rg1 when I saw you hovering over it

fun fact: the move en passant is older than castling (en passant was made in the 1400s vs castling in the 1600s)
Next time move the queen over to A4 instead of retreating and allowing them to chase the Queen all over.
Oof! Brutal ending, I think this happens to everyone who plays at least once. Good game up until then though, keep it up.
