My laptop got stolen a few hours ago. It had all my data including bitcoin too.
Fortunately I had the seeds with me and I have now installed Electrum on my work machine and recovered the wallet with those keys.
It also asked for a password and I have gone with a new one. The wallet is still Synchronizing.

Now my question is, are my bitcoins safe now? Do I need to do anything else? The stolen laptop has the electrum in it, what else should I do to make sure that my bitcoins are secure?

Just pray that the one who took your laptop does not understand any about crypto. But I hope that you have something that would still access your account.

Well yeah that what he should be wish for because if that thief knew about bitcoin then it's dead end for him. That's why using hardware wallet is much more safe and secured than any wallets that installed in laptop nor desktop.
