The touchscreen can consume around 500mA. The latest Pi (4) can consume more than earlier models. So - you could remove the jumper cables that are used to join the power between the Pi and the screen and power the screen and Pi independently if you have a spare power supply. Also - you might be dropping quite a lot of power between the power supply and the device depending on the quality of the cable.
