Do you have a scale? You cannot guess. Too light trracking will cause skips, not too heavy. Use mfg's specs.
IF your stylus is good, then it is dirty records. Especially if they are used records. I have had a very small particle stuck in the groove which would cause this. Regular cleaning wont work. This calls for identifying the particle and removing it with a toothpick. However I have never had theis happen with new records. Only used and even NM
With records, you can never be too clean. That is the biggest part. Otherwise, I agree with @russ69 about the stylus
