i need to change it to bigger with gel more comfortable

Gel doesn't necessarily mean more comfortable. Squishy can be chafing. Get your sit bones measured and take it from there (or you may just need to toughen up a bit if new to cycling, padded shorts can help)

Track Pump.
Silk liner gloves for cold weather (really help to keep your hands warm without the added bulk of thick winter gloves).
Seat Pack holding spare tube/CO2/Tyre Levers/Multi Tool.
Bottle and cage (you need to hydrate).
I always like to record every ride, the free Strava App is Great to log your rides.

You can carry the gloves on your hands and padded shorts on your bum

How much cycling have you done ?
Any saddle takes a bit of getting used to but soft squishy gel isn't the answer.

High quality lights.

Credit card for the taxi home - it's lighter than spare tube/pump/puncture outfit/bag of spanners.

Bought one of these bottle stores instead of a saddle/frame bag. Much prefer it 👍

I use a very similar product, I’ve managed to squeeze in a mini pump, multi tool, inner tube and tyre levers plus some patches.

I've a tool roll with a 15mm short wrench, no glue patches, 4,5 and 6mm Allens, couple of tire irons, screwdriver Lezyne pump and a scrap of paperish shop towel. I use a bag and include some regular kitchen paper towels in case the porta potti or underbridge doesn't have toilet paper. Sometimes a produce bag from grocery store to protect my leather saddle. If I'm going to leave my bike a cable lock. A water bottle is a good idea. I like to take my Brompton to other towns to visit family and the tool roll is good for repairs. I favor fairly large bags that will hold the tool roll, wallet, phone and a sweater or a jacket as the temps can change a lot on a ride. Since I'm riding for exercise and pleasure a little extra weight is easily offset by comfort and convenience.

I filled mine myself, like you say the pre-filled ones are the not the best.
