Stopping that threat.

Played to weaken up the Black king side. For instance if I can play h4-h5 I am threatening to exchange on g6 and then play a winning bishop sacrifice on g6. If now 24.....h5 then 25. Qg5 and again, I am threatening a winning bishop sacrifice on g6. I think his best defence now is Qh6, but thankfully for me, that was not forthcoming.

He attacked my queen. This is probably a losing mistake.

 
25. Qg5
Now I am also threatening Qf6 and mates. Qf3 was also strong. Nd5 had to be played, but white is much better.

 
25... f5
And this is a major error. What should white play now?

Bxc4 also wins of course, but this is quicker.

 
27... Be6
What else?
