Hi, just recently started to learn the sax and have been progressing OK but the sound seems to sound as if I am losing air somewhere ? is it the reed mouthpiece combo? Any suggestions?

It would be helpful to know what your setup is (make of sax, model of mouthpiece, make of reed).
Mouthpieces can be extremely variable - and if you're using the one that came with the sax there's a strong possibility that it's not very good at all. A decent mouthpiece - and it doesn't have to cost and arm and a leg - will be a revelation.
