Sometimes bad breadth is jus psychological and is called pseudo halitosis.
Would suggest you for a round of cleaning ( scaling) if you haven't done yet.
Reasons for bad breath could be multiple.
If it doesn't subside further treatment could be visiting a gastroenterologist.
First and foremost- visit a nearby dentist

Get a regular dental check up. If no dental issues then you have to rule out other causes of bad breath like gastric issues acidity, constipation etc or sinus issues, mouth breathing etc which can also cause bad breath
