The best thing to improve your power, since you've only been training 5 months, is to continue to improve and refine your technique. That will let you better transfer your body weight into your kicks, as well as allow you to continue to kick repeatably with power for longer, since each kick will be more efficient and take less overall effort.
When I was in training, my trainer told me it takes about 1 year to get a foundation on MT kicks, and that is about the min you will need as well assuming you have very good instruction (I was training 5x week) and have a talent for striking.
Trying to kick the bag as hard as you can each time is a bit pointless until you have refined your technique - first get the technique perfected (focus on the feel, foot placement, opening your hips, etc) and the power will come as a result.
Hope that helps
