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?

This is a really stupid question. Your laptop is stolen and still you want to use the old wallet? You can create a new wallet in about 2 minutes. Please create one and transfer your coins to the new wallet. You never know whether your laptop is in the possession of hackers or not. Better safe now, than sorry later.

If I were him, I will immediately transfer my bitcoin to another wallet as soon as possible, I won't take the risk that he cannot access it, what if he can do it and have the knowledge for it right? So, for security and assurance transfer asap while you can still access it.
