You likely need to open up your mouth a little more and keep your throat open and don't let your larynx rise. The key, of course is support with your diaphragm. Also, when you focus your voice, try not to focus it out straight through the front of your face, but try to move the focal point up into your forehead. You should get better resonance and a fuller sound.
A danger is that sometimes singers will start to swallow their sound and get a dark, covered sound instead. That's taking it too far. Some minor adjustments should improve your tone.

You need your nasal resonance as well you need to open your throat in the back. You need both resonance to make a complete open sound. If you sound too nasal you need to open back your throat. You can do that feeling the sensation you are yawing that space you feel when you are yawing is the space you need to feel while you are singing, How that happen?
Easy, you will feel your soft palate going up, and you literally will feel a space open in the back, then let your voice coming forward to your natural resonant cavities. This is necessary to create volume without push the muscles on your chest or throat.
As I told you above, you need both resonances working together, all the time. Be careful to cover too much your sound, that is not healthy.

leave a more open space in your mouth, as in, bring your tongue down a little, and then force air to the top of your mouth and it will give an older, more mature sound. i don't know if you're in choir or not, but it is good to sing through your nose a little, it just has to sing throught the very upper part of it, not the middle where most people sing. it is a very hard battle, i know, but it sounds awesome when you finally nail it.

In order to stop "singing through your nose" you need to focus your resonance. And while a lot of the tips mentioned here are correct, everyone's resonance is slightly different and you really need a voice teacher to help you figure it out.

The easiest way is to just stop singing.
