Stonewall Attack at your level should do wonders as white, provided you know what to do in that opening and have sound attacking knowledge
It was my main opening as white from mid 2017 to mid 2018

Before recommending Stonewall (Which I have played myself), I do urge you to read what GM David Smerdon wrote.
A passionate goodbye letter to that opening.

An Open Letter to the Stonewall
Dearest Stonewall,
It’s over. I’m sorry.
It’s hard even to pen these words to you, though I’m sure that the pain will pass in time. But this has to be done; I’m breaking up with you, once and for all.

@Koo8384 I cannot help but disagree with you, i'm sure i am more blunderful than you... 😄
I know it's not sound
But it should work at the OP's level

Nah @chesseater78 you can't be more blunderful than me
Just check my 2nd worst rated loss in blitz(I think the username is Sinbor)
Or you can check the blitz game I played today

Well - I'll ask the same question I ask everyone that's looking for an "attacking opening"...
What does "attacking" mean to you?
Going straight for the King, open positions with quick development and wild tactics, building up a strong position with a lot of space and cramping down your opponent, positions with clear themes, imbalanced pawn structures and playing on the flanks to break through the enemy position, cheap gimmicks that can give you an advantage if your opponent makes a mistake, etc?
If you can tell us more about what type of positions you're looking for, we can help with recommending certain openings with a higher chance of getting there. Of course, it also depends on what your opponent plays. Instead of trying to simplify into just "attacking" or "defending", think about key themes such as the pawn center formation, space, initiative, activity, bishop pair advantage, outpost squares, and so forth.
