I'm only Gold myself, but I've had a pretty good jump in quality of my play lately, and hopefully I'm on my way to Platinum.
I'd be happy to look at a couple of replays for you. I main Zerg 1v1, but I do play Protoss now and then for fun (not on ladder). Do you have any linked?

Can I recommend using GG Tracker? It's free, easy to use (I use it), and it's a good visual tool to help you see what you're doing well/not as well.

So - watched a few matches, and have some observations. You hit one of them, your speed/APM is kind of low. But I noticed in spurts you do well enough to get out of bronze, so that isn't the biggest issue.
Tactically, I think you do more than enough to be a Silver level player, it's the timing and a few little things that are hurting you.
Here is a list of things to consider:
- Your probe play. You pull the probes a bit too early, then they sit and wait. Better a second or three too late than having them dance around for 15 to 20 seconds waiting to build things (First Pylon/Gateway), and then get them back to minerals!! You had at least 2 to 4 idle probes each game, get those things to work.
- Chrono a bit more regularly. 1 or 2 games you did okay, but it wasn't consistent.
- Ensure you're using a hotkeys for units and Map points. It's okay if you're 'slow' to set them up, because once they are set up, that time will pay for itself.
- Consider not proxying so much - especially stargates. That's an advanced tactic that isn't serving you well right now. Focus on your home base, getting an expansion and then moving out about the
- One game you were at the 14 minute mark, and had only like 24 probes, 8 units and 235 buildings. (I might be off on the building count). Get those probe counts up!
Your army control/tactile movement (popping in and out) is fine to move up to the next league. If you had an observer and a few more troops earlier with some better probe/chrono managment, I think you'd find you're ahead of a lot of your opponents and can push to 10 mins wins.
Try just focusing on one build for a while, till you really get the feel for it. I'd personally choose 3gate/Robo, but other toss players might know better.
Here is a good video to watch. Do some 3gate/robo while focusing on pushing out around 8 mins. Don't be afraid to lose a few more while getting these points down.
