It means 'to undermine someone's achievements, sometimes by listing your own or taking credit for them'
It's kind of like, if you got an 80% on your test and you were really proud of that. So you tell all of your friends, and then someone's like 'Haha! I got a 100%!" And now your 80% feels insignificant because that person 'stole your thunder'
