Appropriate final gravity is reached and I place the beer into the keg. I normally do Hefs so I turn the pressure up to 18-25 PSI for 2 days. After two days I drop the pressure down to around 12 PSI for another 24 hours before bringing it down again to serving pressure.
After this process, I serve the beer; the pressure seems right and the head is where it should be initially. The problem is that the beer itself doesn't seem carbonated, if that makes sense. There are no little bubbles you would expect to see in beer from the tap and the head, which was good to start with, quickly goes away.
Additionally, I've tried to fill growlers with beer from my keg and the growlers always come out flat.
I'm relatively new to kegging, so hopefully I am just missing something obvious that everyone else already knows. Thank you all for your time and input.
