If you are otherwise happy with the recipe and the beer it produces, adding maltodextrin to the boil or cara-pils to the mash will increase body and mouthfeel without changing the flavor of the beer. You could also increase your mash temperature or shorten your mash schedule to increase the amount of unfermentable long-chain dextrins left in the wort.
If you are saying that your beer isn't viscous enough or is finishing too dry
and the beer could also use a look more caramel or malt flavor, try adding crystal malts to the mash or steeping grains.
Posting a recipe and mash schedule would go a long way toward helping diagnose the problem. There are more experienced brewers than me who will be happy to help if they have enough information.
