Are you leaving the gas hooked up the whole time or just when pouring?

Also, the keg is staying in the fridge & not being moved around or anything? Temperature affects how much CO2 will stay in solution.

Sounds like you may have a leak someware most likley thew keg lid o ring not seated properly.

Put 200 kpa in the keg and check for any leaks.

You can re-gas the beer if it has gone flat.
