My bachelor's thesis is a research one. I am solving a specific problem using my ideas, combined with an existing approach, method, and the results are original. My supervisor doesn't know what to say or how to interpret the results. I have received a feedback from other professors saying that my contributions should be specified clearly and that the conclusions aren't presented in an academic manner. I have used "we" in the whole thesis and it would be weird to say "this chapter is original except for one part..". Also, I think I should somehow interpret my conclusions. Should I have a section named conclusions? How should I phrase that my work is original without it sounding like bragging?

    If you write a thesis, then you are trying to communicate with your supervisor. That does not seem to work right now. So you need to sit down with your supervisor and together figure out how to fix that.

    How do you know you are solving the problem if not even your supervisor knows how to interpret the results? It seems like all the feedback you are receiving points to a communication problem - your supervisor does not understand what you present to them, and the professors are not clear on what you present to them either. Most likely the use of "we" and lack/existence of a conclusion isn't the root of the problem.

    A supervisor should be an en expert in the field of your research. I don't understand, is nobody available to supervise your research in your department? That seems quite odd.
