I know the major mistake I made, which wasn't sealing that top right part off late in the game. I think that's really what the deciding factor in this game was.

9: The slide may be premature. Usually, the 3-3 invasion hurts him more than the slide, so you wait until you know which one you will prefer. The down side of a 3-3 invasion is that he gets a wall on the outside which can cause you trouble later. But if your nearby groups are strong enough, it doesn't matter so you prefer the 3-3 to the slide. Since you are committing yourself to a running attack on the next move, it is quite possible that your 6th-rank stones will become strong enough in the ensuing fight such that you can ignore a wall that he gets after a 3-3 invasion. 19: Too loose. When the opponent attaches 1-on-1, extend, or hane, (or tenuki). 23: See what I mean? You are getting stronger here. Now a 3-3 invasion may well be better than the slide. 25: Now the slide is definitely misplaced. 35: Maybe high 2-space pincer? It would work better with your strength over on the left. 41: What are you trying to do here? That Q16 stone is weak. It is completely overshadowed by his nearby stones and should be abandoned ( or, well, save for ko threats). But you cannot acconplish anything with it. 47: F16. Or F18 if you feel that you absolutely must kill. Why give yourself a weak stone? Wife says dinner is ready. Gotta go.
