The game went wrong on move 52. You played S2 when you should have played Q4 or possibly S4. Up to that point, you were winning.

A piece of advice... Before you make a move, go back and look at all the groups you currently have on the board and count their liberties. If a group only has 3 liberties, then that should be a yellow flag for you. You need to be very careful with that group and probably give it some attention. If you have a group with only 1 or 2 liberties, then that's a red flag. The group is in extreme danger and you must attend to it, or abandon it.
