I wanted to make lightly wider from the bottom, something like this.

But i have made the extrusion from begining and now i dont know how to change the thickness of the rod to make it something like 4mm on top 5mm on bottom.
Here i add a video showing it.

Remember not to use the Fixed constraint if you intend to change dimensions. In most cases, Fixed = Bad
Replace the complicated splines with simple arcs:
Here an example of how to fully constrain your sketches and use the extrude, revolve, and mirror features:
