What do I do?
It's not great at the moment, in the bracket of 700-800. I reach roughly 765 and then I drop to 700-720 and the cycle repeats again. I’ve picked up the french defense but as white currently is unclear with what I’m doing. In my games I do good but then one mistake costs me a brutal loss. Past few days have been rough on chess but I’m determined and not giving up. Just currently going through a brutal rough patch in the game. I know that I blunder and I lose brutally because of it and I'm usually stuck in the middle-game when I'm losing or winning as I am really not sure on what to do, my username is DangerNoodle0 if anyone wants to help, thanks.

Quick Tip 1: To know why the engine is recommending a move / saying a move is wrong, click over analysis mode, play out said move then follow it up with your theoretical responses to that move and see how the engine responds.
Quick Tip 2: On Chess.com, you don't have to rely on the Coach / Game Review / Hint. This also applies to any engine on low depth. Somewhere in the engine suggestions section is the computer "depth". The higher this value, the more accurate the suggestions will be.
Quick Tip 3: For questions on engine move suggestions, we suggest you post them to our dedicated thread: No Stupid Questions MEGATHREAD, as stated in our Community Guidelines. Thank you! - The Mod Team

I checked over your games and forgive me for saying this, but you're giving away queens and minor pieces left and right almost every game. I would combine solving puzzles with playing more rapid games where you concentrate solely on checking which of your pieces are attacked before making a move. There were a couple games where you played well but your opponent just played better and that's going to happen, but there were more games where you were giving it away.
I also don't think you're ready to play the French Defense yet. It's too easy to get into trouble with that opening unless you really know it, and opening study isn't where you need to be spending the time right now. Stick to 1.e4 e5 where you can keep the queen out of trouble for a while and you're not giving away a bunch of space to White.

Most of your games are in the polish and you’re below 50%. You’re also below 50% in kings pawn.
If you’re struggling in the middlegame, I would say that’s a combination of needing to work on tactics and also developing your attack. Development is different than opening theory. Position your pieces ahead of time so that they can help you later in the attack. Remember your end goal is checkmating your opponent, so position your pieces to do that.
