I got this game today (Me white):

The question is, how should I have gone about removing that pesky black light squared bishop without losing any material or weakening the king? As you will notice on move 11, Ng3 is stopped, and I don’t really have any ideas because Queen on c8 protects it heavily.
EDIT: I got a similar (almost identical) position just now! The difference was that gxh3 isn’t allowed. I played White.
