There were several reasons. Trostsky was a late convert to Bolshevism and was not trusted by many of the old Bolsheviks. many old Bolsheviks considered Trotsky to be too much of an intellectual for their liking. Many disliked him for being Jewish despite the fact that many Bolsheviks were themselves Jewish. Grigori Zinoviev, himself a Jew, hated Trotsky so much he joined with Stalin and Lev Kamenev (also Jewish) to form a three party ruling block to oust Trotsky from power. Another reason is that Stalin, as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party as well as Commissar of other departments in government held the loyalty of many people he had installed in government and party positions. Trotsky had few allies in power.

How did Leon Trotsky lose power?
Although Vladimir Lenin had chosen Trotsky to succeed him, Joseph Stalin kept that from being made public. Stalin was already Secretary General of the Communist Party and had installed many friends in high office who were loyal to him. Stalin also allied himself with Grigory Zinoviev and Lev Kaminev to run the government while Lenin was incapacitated as well as after his death. Stalin thus had virtually all of the important people in the Communist Party on his side and against Trotsky, so he was easily able to get a vote to expel Trotsky from the Communist Party and then exile him from the country.
