Thank you heinzkat and woodworm for your input.
I did consider playing that line, but I was put off by what I saw as playing for a draw a pawn down. After the given line I couldn't see where I would go from there. I assumed from there black would play something like 17. ... Qd4 at which point I'm stuck.
Given that I was a pawn down was the objectively best thing to do just to simplify to a rook endgame that would basically be drawn despite the material difference?

Qh3 had its merits, as shown in the game.
Opponent rating --> 1600
I play the white pieces
My notes so far:
11. Bg5 does not really help
19. Bd4 is offcourse much better, I saw it, calculated it oddly enough decided against it.
21. Qf3?, better is 21. Rf1
I missed 24...f6
25...Nf7, drawoffer by black
30...Qd7, drawoffer by black
Question(s)
I really could use some help here.
- How should I have handled the kingside attack?
