I was wondering if I could solder an XT60 connector to this transmitter battery to use in my plane. If I can, how would I do it, since there's a bunch of connectors?

Cannot read the label is it a Life battery how many cells? If it is a Life battery it does not have enough C rating to fly your plane. If it is a Lipo with enough C rating and the number of cells is correct then yes it will work, the JST red connector is the one you would use.

It says it's a liPo, 3cell 3C discharge 2500mah 11.v

It is possible to use that battery if the amp draw were below 7.5 amps. It is unlikely your amp draw is that low.
The formula for battery draw is MAH/1000 x C = Amps
With your battery 2500/1000 x 3 = 7.5
