I've reached a difficult point for me to surpass in the study of japanese language.

I can read fast, read lots of kanji, I have a decent knowledge of the vocabulary. However, I still can't figure precisely a lot of what I read. News, discussions, even descriptions. I can't pinpoint exactly what I'm having trouble with, what should I do to improve or to detect what I need to improve further? Should I seek help from someone?
