It's your first FPS, but nearly all of the people you're playing against have been playing FPS's for several years. It will take some time for you to acquire the basic skills of FPS's to help you even things out.
The first thing that you need to learn about online FPS's is that they require you to lead your targets, due to lag. Instead of aiming at people, aim in front of where they're going.
Secondly, you need to adjust your gameplay depending upon the weapons/vehicles you choose. You should try to be on favorable turf at all times. This means that if you have an assault weapon, you should try to always be in areas where you'll engage enemies in close quarters. If you have a long-range weapon, you should always be in areas where enemies will appear at long range, but not at short range. In other words, don't just rush at the nearest flag, even if you're a tank.
Along those lines, I'd recommend you start out by trying an assault kit, since it's easier to learn how to navigate terrain in such a way that you can avoid long-range contests. Also, enemy snipers will usually pass up a moving target at long range, while enemy assaults will never pass you up at short range. Plus, you're better equipped to attack flags and get points that way.
Third, you should spend more time in a squad and less as a lone wolf. You can learn from watching other players and the medics will keep you alive.
The squad will also (hopefully) guide you to the proper areas of the map from which to attack. Much of the game is figuring out the maps: which areas are good (easy) to attack and how to flank or encircle your enemy.
No matter how good you are, you'll never be able to win every face-to-face firefight. But you can learn how to end up on your enemy's flank or rear more frequently.
