It could be other things but most probably, you have a slight arch-warp in the neck as your complaint is one of the classic symptoms. What's going on is, the strings are rattling off the lower frets. I am also presuming that your strings aren't old/dead.

Yes, your truss rod needs to be adjusted; in your case, loosened. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you might want to consider having your guitar professionally serviced by a competent tech.

probably need to turn your saddle screws a bit to raise the action.
