Do you tried to follow this documentation [1] ? I also found this step-by-step walk-through doc [2] from a 3rd party website, that worth to give it a try.

If you already added more capacity to your disk, you can use this command line in gcloud

gcloud compute disks resize example-disk --size 250

In the other hand, If your image is recent, you should just try to reboot your VM instance. The fs are supposed to resize automatically.
