I'll tell you a secret about balance, In order to not fall over your center of mass must be placed above or vault over the area formed by your contact points.
Like a human standing on two legs wont fall over as long as their center of mass is anywhere inside the imaginary skateboard square between their two feet.

If you stand on on one foot, your center mass must be held above your footprint or you will tip over.

Or imagine a indestructible round table with 4 legs, a massive weight can be placed on-top of the table anywhere as long as it is inside the square of the 4 legs
but if it's placed outside this square along one of the round edges it will flip the table.

Your robot should walk like an ostrich placing each leg below it's center of mass if you want it to travel efficiently and linear like a human walker would
To walk with a stance more than shoulder width apart you would need to shift your weight side to side and travel in big waddle arches.
