Why you didn't move your Queen to A5! Then you'd owe his bishop and pressure his castle.

Now your Queen is stuck blocking your castles from defending his center attack.

I did look at Qa5 instead of f5 and maybe it was a better plan. We can still play Qa5 depending on what Team Monero does next.  You are right that our center pawns may become weak in the future but I don't think we need to be overly concerned yet.

If we wanted to play safe we should have played Qb6 and tried to trade queens instead of playing Nc5. For better of worse this plan with f5 seemed more exciting!

I like Qa5 putting some pressure on whites position. Our e7 pawn is well protected without our queen on d8. Qa5 will also provide more options for our rook on a8.

I like ArticMine's move Rd2. We're obviously going to follow with Rfd1. Black will continue on defense for quite a while and we can just continue attacking.
