I have been trying to install Xcode back onto my computer but I get this error for some reason. I have 43.57 GB of storage available which I think should be enough to install Xcode, given that on the App Store the size is 12.4 GB. I am on the latest macOS Monterey update (12.0.1). Is there a fix to this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, it is not enough.

You may send a bug report to Apple that the current App Store shows too small required disk space, but that does not fix your issue.
You can try downloading Xcode.xip from the Downloads page of the developer site, it consumes about 13 GB. And the expanded Xcode.app about 33 GB. So, you may need 46 GB or more while expanding.
Remove unused things from your start up disk and try again.
Or if you have an external storage of enough free space, download Xcode.xip into it and expand it there. In this case, I recommend you to move Xcode.app to the start up disk before running it.
