Put on a new Shimano 11 speed groupset -- 105 level is very good, Ultegra is even better. I know you just bought a new rear wheel, so add a new front wheel -- or better yet, buy a nice new lightweight wheelset. Replace a few other key components -- go for best bang for buck by removing relatively heavy components if you can replace them with newer lighter parts at reasonable cost.
Most important part is to ride more, perhaps do some interval training. That will make the biggest difference in allowing you to keep up on the group ride.
