I’ve briefly read about the definition of imperialism according to Lenin but I’m still a bit fuzzy on the difference between them.

I see colonialism as a subcategory of imperialism that pertains specifically with physically taking resources and lands by means of settlement and genocide. Imperialism on the other I see as something more board and can include stuff like forcing other countries to act in your interest through subversion or threats of violence.
100% agree, colonialism seems like a sub-category, or strategy to better do imperialism.
oh I thought of it as the other way around but this makes more sense. Thank you.
