I need new opening, recommend me something good for both colors, black and white. Im stuck at 1450, currently playing The Vienna and Kings Indian defence, and Im looking for new openings which will help me improve my rating.
I don't think there's anything wrong with your repertoire. Just keep working on it - look at a few videos, maybe buy a book or two.
The Vienna is OK with a mix of 3.g3 and f4, but the KID is a too large system and very easy to lose as black. The best way to improve ones rating is to minimize losses as black.
Against 1.e4 try the French with FortKnox/Rubinstein (positional). Scandinavian with Qd6 is also OK 8 tactical).
Against 1.d4, 1.c4 and 1.Nf3 try the Dutch Leningrad. A not too large systerm that works against all these opening moves.
I disagree with the Leningrad Dutch being a not too large system. There are numerous moves/systems that black needs to prepare for before the main lines become a possibility.

Learning the classical King's Gambit lines has improved my attacking ability in the Vienna a lot, maybe try that?
