mouthpiece help!!

im currently a high school student, and ive been playing on the vandoren m13 lyre mouthpiece for about 4 years now. when i was a beginner in middle school i played fine on it, but now im feeling as if im not producing a good quality sound. this past year, I noticed that my tone, tuning, and articulation didn't feel as clean and precise as they did before. my open g is always flat for some reason. my private lessons teacher noticed that i sounded like its hard for me to blow air through. (still kind of confusing to me because i should be blowing more air as i play for longer right?) anyways, she said i might need a mouthpiece that's easier to blow air through and was wondering if anyone on here had recommendations/tips on how to fix this probelm. thanks!!!
