Default 2008 is350 coolant problem

Hello. I have a 2008 Is350 with 153k miles. Recently I’ve noticed that my coolant has been getting used up too quickly and I have not seen any visible leaks. I hav to fill up on coolant around once a month and I’ve also noticed that my heater hasn’t been working properly. I’ve already swapped out the thermostat and checked the oil. What do y’all recommend to fix the problem?

Are you still on your original water pump? Any bearing noise from it? That would be the first thing I'd check.

May need to let the trapped air inside come out by opening the cap and being on an incline or decline
