I win 3 games in a row. First 2 games I get 25 points, 3rd game I only get 20, so I am at 70. Why did I not get a 3rd 25 points?

Red side has a slightly higher win rate, so they give that side some extra LP. Your LP gain is also based on the perceived difficulty of the match (your team's MMR vs. the enemy's), and not every match is perfectly balanced so you'll see the gains fluctuate a little. With both of those combined sometimes you'll see a big gap.
