Use the Stretchy Spaces extension.

Do you hate your project's indentation level and have a hard time reading your code? Then just stretch it to be what you want! You can expand or contract your indentation using this extension.

Note: This only works on files that are indented using spaces. If a file is indented using tabs, vscode can already change your tab size! It's built into the editor!

Since you aren't using any formatter type extension

You can set your indentation easily by selecting the indenting option in the status bar.

Indenting status bar

Indenting options

and then select the size you want.

If you want to globally have the same settings.

add these values to your settings.json

    "editor.tabSize": 4, //4 = 4 spaces
    "editor.detectIndentation": true, // this will auto detect whether your file is using spaces or tabs to indent. 
    "editor.insertSpaces": true, // Insert spaces when pressing Tab. This setting is overridden based on the file contents when #editor.detectIndentation# is on.
