"using more lip/muscle" isn't the answer, but having adequate lip strength/muscle memory is a must.
What I hear among 99% of players who have grown up hearing "AIR SOLVES ALL" is an embouchure being blown apart by their air column. This was my problem, too, until I found a teacher who recognized it. IMO, lip strength is just as important as how you use your air.. if not more.
