You upgraded your TH too early. Supposedly you should upgrade your walls to the max for your TH before upgrading it.
I'm currently on TH lvl 4 and upgrading to lvl 5 and I've maxed out everything that can be maxed out except for my gold and elixir collector (gold at lvl 7, elixir at lvl 6).
You could also changed the way you lay your wall. Pocketed walls seem nice. At TH 4 lvl, I rarely lose except to people who are much - much higher TH than me.
Yup as per what alien9 said, max upgrade everything before proceed to next TH will help you to progress easier. Especially in TH7 and TH8 finish off everything including walls before proceed the next TH.
If you must know there is a loot penalty in this game as describe below:-
5% for attacking someone with a Town Hall (TH) 4+ levels lower than the attacker's.
25% for attacking someone with a TH 3 levels lower than the attacker's.
50% for attacking someone with a TH 2 levels lower than the attacker's.
90% for attacking someone with a TH 1 level lower than the attacker's.
100% for attacking someone with a TH level equivalent to the attacker's.
110% for attacking someone with a TH 1 level higher than the attacker's.
150% for attacking someone with a TH 2 levels higher than the attacker's.
200% for attacking someone with a TH 3+ levels higher than the attacker's.
