Instead, you might want to look at using combat mods like Vigor, Smilodon, etc, to increase the challenge in ways that work better with followers, and play on Expert so they aren't so much stronger than you. I think Smilodon may have an add on that equalises the damage, so that both you and enemies (and followers) hit harder on higher levels.

The issue is obviously that your enemies are made of cloth. :p

In all seriousness, sounds like you have a mod buffing your companions.

Keep leveling. If you don't have any mods to uncap them they will be outpaced by your enemies. Many followers cap at 30. Others 50 and there MIGHT be a few that level to the PC? But if they exist I don't remember who

On legendary, your followers recieve the same damage modifier as other npcs; followers get stronger the higher your difficulty is set.
Try Adept.
