Literally make hotkeys, send vills and wood and gold crates and kite with the appropriate units and you're major. Ascribe to general rules of thumb: don't push while aging, only take fights if well macro'd, don't siege town centers, wait for upgrade cards before an imminent battle, herd.

Well that's because even though you have a solid BO you can't execute it :P
Honestly, Brit is one of the hardest civ to play for a beginner because it requires so much macro, and hard decision making. Since you have to balance army and eco you need to make the exact unit count/composition etc.

I used to be stubbornly stuck in age 2 massing lb's and hussars, last few days I have started to go to age 3, slightly after my opponent and go lb's and dragoons. Good results so far. Another thing I am trying is to make walls, not GUA walls, but rather small pieces here and there. My macro is not THAT bad, room for improvement though.

The main reasons I am as bad as I am is mostly because of my terrible micro and I have no clue when to push or not.
Scouting my opponent basically don't help me at all xD

Trying out hotkeys atm and just today I beat India for the first time (I think) with a LB/Goon combo. With 2 falcs in the background.
Those grenadier kinda guys from the saloon are pretty rad to mix in, when it's time to seal the victory!

A shame we couldn't connect on ESO, thanks for trying though.

Well, I could be wrong but I think that if you're stuck at the lieutenant level it's mostly because of bad macro skills.

The main reasons I am as bad as I am is mostly because of my terrible micro and I have no clue when to push or not.

If you are below pr30, it's not because of your micro: it's a consequence of your macro and your game understanding. Knowing when you should push is indeed big, and improving that would make you improve a lot.

Trying out hotkeys atm and just today I beat India for the first time (I think) wit h a LB/Goon combo. With 2 falcs in the background.

Try musk/lb+2falcs vs India. I know it sounds awkward but you need the musks to tank the sepoys hits because else lb die super fast.
