13" MacBook Pro 2016 - 2.9 GHz Intel Core i5 - OSX 10.14.6
I noticed a little while ago that Spotlight was not indexing properly and not showing proper results although "mds" seems to be using about 70% of my computer CPU (which explains some CPU overloads whilst using Logic Pro X).
Have tried using terminal to stop, re-index etc etc but it always comes up with "Error: Index is already changing state".
Any help?

Hello tom_92,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.
You mentioned using Terminal, if you haven't already, try rebuilding from the steps here: How to rebuild the Spotlight index on your Mac
If you have already done that, try rebuilding in safe mode instead: How to use safe mode on your Mac
Enjoy your day.
