Could it be too much pressure, not enough air, good ol' practice?
Thanks

It can be:
1. your embouchure type (upstream tends to have thinner tone)
2. mouthpiece (for example, cup too shallow, or throat too tight)
3. trumpet (for example, bore too small)
4. lack of embouchure muscle development
5. natural thinning around every player's present highest range
6. using too little mouthpiece pressure (per Reinhardt's observation)
7. playing too softly
8. some combination of any or all of the above
