how do i improve playing chess like how can i win some rounds?
Go through the topics on lichess.org/learn#/ then start doing puzzle streak.
You can read the last post that asked this question and you can find my helpful tip there because I do not feel like typing it out again. Why do people ask this stupid question a lot?

You can merely analyze your mistakes and don't make them again. Also, make sure you have an opening repertoire. If you did all your learning in lichess.org, do it again and make an opening repertoire and solve between 10 and 15 puzzles on lichess.org a day, and make sure you did them all right or else!
I skimmed like 10 of your games. Stop making opening moves that make no sense. If you don't have a clue about what a decent opening looks like, find a video about opening principles. Follow the principles in all of your games.

I just looked at some of your Rapid games. You are missing one move direct threats, one guy got you in an obvious and blockable scholar's mate, you aren't developing your openings properly, and you even resign in positions where the game isn't really over (below 1300 you shouldn't resign until you see checkmate is imminent). There's a funny video series out there by the "chessbrah"s that they call "building habits" that might help you as well.
Your main problem is that you aren't "getting" what you are supposed to be doing at each stage of the game, and what you should be looking out for. You need to learn about forks, pins, and skewers, with the goal of learning to spot them, execute them, and block them from happening to you. These are the basics of tactics that you can learn from doing the puzzles on this site.
When you learn these things, the idea is to apply them in games against other people.

Follow these 4 steps:
1. Check that if you play this move, will any of your pieces be attacked? If no, go to step 2.
2. Check that if you play this move, will there be any checkmate? If no, go to step 3
3. Check that if you play this move, were any of your opponent's pieces attacked? If no, go to step 4
4. Check that if you play this move, are you missing any checkmate that you could perform? If no, it's fine to play this move.
If the answer to any of these 4 steps is yes, then try to find a different move
NOTE: Does NOT work in any really fast game (like Ultrabullet (1/4+0) , Hyperbullet (1/2+0))
