I have 6 kuhli loaches, 4 corydoras, 10 rummynose tetras and 1 female blue gourami

How big is the tank? You could always add more rummynose (if your filtration can handle it) and corys should be in shoals of at least 6. Adding more plants will also make the fish more comfortable with being out in the open spaces. Some crypt lutea or dwarf sag would look good in the fore- and mid-ground.

Maybe more background plants to give it a fuller look, something with wider leaves like a cryptocoryne wendtii or anubias (you know what fits your tank best, just ideas) ? It is beautiful as it is, but tryna help with the question!
As for fish, size of your tank should tell you how your current stocking is. Even if it feels like you dont see a lot of fish around cause they are small, it is better to stay within the limits of the tank size and not overstock it, for the sake of the fish

Just wait. Your plants and fish will get bigger.

How your aquarium looks today and how it looks two years from now will be very different. It might appear empty to you, but I assure you that the fish probably love it this way (perhaps you can bolster your cory numbers up to 6 as well?)
When your tank matures into something you are comfortable working with, that’s when I would consider adding new fish. If you add these fish before you realize what the tank will mature to be, it’s easy to wind up with regret.

Remove the other fish and plop in a betta and betta gang will tell you it’s overstocked
