Please check the following:

filter...are you using a pleated filter?? 30% of airflow is lost using a pleated filter.

close off other vets in the house to boost airflow.

Dampers....if you have an undeveloped basement check to ensure dampers arent closed off of the main duct in the basement.

Furniture over vents??

how old is the furnace?? CFM values may be lower on older models and have less airflow distribution causing a colder house.

Let me know regardless
