I wonder if there’s a way to transfer the game from my Steam account to my GOG account.
There is none in the way of a transfer. Neither Steam nor GOG will give you a copy of the game in exchange for another platform's copy, nor give you a copy on a competing platform in exchange for theirs.
This boils down to if your method of ownership supports it, you can do it. Neither Steam nor GOG support it. A physical disk copy would support it, for instance, so you'd be entirely allowed to transfer ownership of your physical disk copy of the game.
Steam does support it. A long time back, I was still new to Steam, and activated a key on a second account I'd created. I opened a support case, told them I'd activated it on the wrong account, and asked them to transfer it. They did.
That's a transfer within the platform, very different from the scenarios I described. There is no method supported by GOG or Steam to transfer a game to a competing platform.
You can't open a support case and tell them "sorry I actually wanted this game on GOG, can you transfer it to my account there?". At best you could ask for a refund, obviously if you've played the game enough you wouldn't even be able to ask for that.
