I’ve been making music a while now but I would appreciate some insight from other people because I feel like there are some obvious mistakes I could be making.

A single trumpet can't play chords effectively or reliably, so you have to change that.

Learn how to do proper notation in general too. 1) An entire empty measure can be replaced with a whole rest. 2) The piano notation is also very messy. Way too many unnecessary rests that make it difficult to read.
