Don't possibly know why you could be loosing pressure on the pool. However you may be loosing pressure in the line to the pool from the filter. If you are also loosing suction then :
there is not enough water in the pool and the skimmer is sicking air.
bad pump seal
loose pump lid
bad o-ring seal at pump lid
loose fittings in and out of the pump. that is the piece of equip. that has the motor attached. The filter is the large tank. The pool is the vessel that is holding all the water.
You can also lose pressure if your skimmer and your pump baskets are filled with debris, kink in the hoses, or your filter needs to be cleaned, or filter sand or cartridge needs replaced.
You also may be thinking of pressure as in the force of the water coming out of the return jets. If this is the case, then your filter has become dirty and the water can't pass thru it very well. Clean your filter.

∙ 10y agoit is because there are not many people who actually use above ground pools I recommend getting a underground pool so then it wont leak

You have only about half pressure on your pool pump?
Usually the pressure gauge on your pool equipment indicates how much pressure there is before the filter. as the pressure goes up it indicates that the filter is getting blocked and needs a backwash or cleaning. while the pressure is low the filter does not need cleaning.
What are some common causes of low pressure going through the pool filtration system?
Leaves in the impeller of your pump.

Are cumulonimbus clouds low or high pressure?
Low Pressure, A Low Pressure Area allows clouds to form, as a result, you can get a storm from a low pressure area.A High Pressure Area is the exact opposite, it doesn't allow clouds to form, you can get sunny weather from this kind of system.
Why is a low-pressure system called a low-pressure system?
In a low pressure system, the air pressure, which is the force with which the air presses down, is lower than what it normally is. Hence, it is called a low-pressure system.
