How do I play for a win as white? I keep getting this position OTB against lower-rated players and drawing.

Don't play a London - very simple.

In all seriousness if I was going to play a London I'd avoid c5/Qb6 lines by transposing into it after c3 - 
 
I'm sure there's some way to avoid c6 / Qb6

Ok valid but still. I play the london since I don't like to study openings.

This position is clearly better for white. Just play Nc3, and follow with b3-b4, possibly inserting b4-b5 if allowed, h2-h3 to preserve the Bf4 against an eventual ...Nh5 etc.

However, this very position is quite unlikely to happen in a game, especiially with white to play.
