So one thing I would say about that game is that you shouldn't have resigned. You could have definitely flagged him as he was running out of time and wasn't really speeding up very aggressively.
There are three important reasons that you should have done this. A) you had a LOT more time than him which meant that you could have actually won that game because even if he had sped up he would likely have made significant mistakes given that he seemed to need quite a bit of time per move
B) playing him longer would have given more information as to whether he was cheating or not. For example I would expect a human player in that situation to begin making mistakes but if he was just using the engine he might still make good moves but lose on time quickly. If you DO suspect a cheater never make it easy for them by resigning. Make it easier for Lichess to spot the cheating by continuing and doing your best.
C) You should make it a rule never to resign and play the best game you can for as long as you can. Of course we all do resign at times etc but to maximise your chances always keep playing if you can and in this case you certainly had more than enough material to take advantage of any mistakes going forward.
Just looking at the analysis doesn't really say a lot. Neither you nor your opponent made any "inaccuracies" for the first half of the game but you guys weren't playing the best moves either. Also, in reality there were no ultra complex situations like that in the game.
Plenty of legit games can look like the winner played a perfect game simply because the lines that were taken were not that complex. I myself have had such games where I got exactly those stats but I only played perfectly because we went down a basic line and in that situation my opponent also had very few mistakes except maybe a blunder. That's just like your situation.
I have even had a situation where I played zero blunders zero mistakes and zero innacurracies and ended up with a position where i was down 8 points in computer eval. In this case apart from your blunder it was pretty much even throughout so again it doesn't demonstrate cheating for sure. I myself have had well over 100 victories where I had a 0 0 0 eval but again that is mostly because simple lines were followed.
What would be good would be if lichess published some stats on cheaters etc but given that it is mostly a labor of love it is difficult to see them having the resources to do it.
