What do you do to control humidity?

For the most part I think winter is finally over here in Southern Indiana temperatures have been running in the mid 80s. So I have my central air unit turned on. However one thing I have noticed is when I come home from work or come out of any room into the living room where the 125 gallon aquarium is it feels like I have walked into an indoor swimming pool area at a hotel.

Although the thermostat says that it's 72 degrees it feels really humid almost kind of Stuffy per se. Even though it is almost 15 degrees warmer outside it feels better outside than it does in my living room. According to the indoor weather station humidity is 57% and the temperature is 73

I have glass canopies on top of my tank but my 30-gallon sub is open have not enclosed the stand yet. When I get the enclosed doors installed on the stand will that help?

I ran a bathroom type exhaust fan in my fish room to keep humidity down. Two at peak times.

We run a dehumidifier at night. Keeps the house between 50-55% which is great for south La.
