why when my nose is stuffy, no matter how much I blow out, I still can’t breath out the nostril or it still feels stuffy.

If you will, imagine your sinus as a water slide. On a good day, water moves right through to the end (your throat). When your nose gets stuffed up, two different things happen. First, the water gets replaced with pudding. Next, the inside walls of the waterside get coated with construction foam as your sinuses swell. Now you’re trying to move pudding through a garden hose-sized hole. It’s still possible, but it’s going to take a lot more force and you’re going to feel all of that foam clogging up the works. To make things worse, leaving the pudding in there means it will get gross and chunky. Your best course of action is to clear out the foam with anti-inflammatory meds (or ginger/turmeric which show promising results in some studies) so you don’t end up with nasty chunky pudding.
