Losing Pawn Wars

This position dates from last October. The game was played online with a fast time control. I had White and a winning ending, but I erred here.

White to move

    either a3 or c4, playing for zugzwang look good to me, but maybe things are not so simple?

      I played 1.a3 and my opponent was able to play 1...Kb5. 2.Kd5 fails to 2...e6+ and I lose the queenside pawns. 1.c4 should win.
