I think that the fingers need more topology. Try adding 2 more lops where the fingers bend. Then add a line that goes on the middle of the finger(Fingers arent flat) user added image

There are thousends of examples of hands out there(both hi and low poly) study them.

Or match the number of lines that goes from the fingers to the arm.
