You shouldn’t want to decrease your RAM usage. It is there it may as well be used.

But to be more clear/TLDR, make sure you’re looking at “available” RAM not “free” ram (if your tool doesn’t show this try
free -h
), and ignore buffer/cache usage, as the kernel will free this up as needed for other programs, but otherwise uses it to cache/accelerate I/O
