Please get yourself evaluated by an ENT. Get a nasolaryngoscopy done to give information regarding level of obstruction causing snoring. Also a sleep study will tell regarding severity of snoring. After this appropriate treatment plan can be charted out for you.

Try using a pillow
Next Steps
if your snoring is causing you to feel excessively sleepy during waking hours, or if you find yourself falling asleep in the middle or if you feel choked or suffocated and wake up from sleep, you need to get evaluated with a sleep study or sleep endoscopy
