When a native uses “however” he’s offering an alternative viewpoint. Or offering a different conclusion.
Although use, would have to see it in context. ...It can have many uses. The word “despite” or “ in spite of” would be used instead of.
Although can be used in the middle of a sentence not just the beginning.

although =
despite the fact that, or despite being:
He decided to go, although he told me several times that he really didn't want to.
Although it was raining, I decided to take a walk in the park.
However - can also mean "despite this" but used in a different way.
I like cars. However, I do not have one because finding parking is impossible in my city.
The same sentiment with "although" would be:
Although I lke cars, I don't have one because finding parking.....
"However" has other meanings as well. I suggest you look here:
