JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Check the filters on your gmail account. It's possible they set up an inbound email filter that will forward a copy of all your incoming mail to another address, so even if you were to lock them out of your account, they'd still be able to read your mail. (Gmail shows a warning message on the user interface whenever a new forwarding filter is set up, so it's not likely one of these snuck by without you noticing, but it's worth checking because it used to be a pretty common attack vector.)

Also, go into the App Passwords section of your Google profile. Everything listed in there is basically a permanent alternate password to your account -- if someone generated an app password or knew one of your existing app passwords, they'd continue to have access to your account no matter how much you change your "real" password or even if you add a Google Authenticator to your account. Remove everything listed, even the stuff you added yourself, and even if it shows a last used date that's not recent. Then generate brand new app passwords for your own devices if you need them.
