Yep. That's your next step. Honestly, I don't think you're fretting too hard. The nut slots should be filed. It's not at all a big job but want to be sure the person doing it isn't going to overcut. Then you're gonna have perpetual 1st fret buzz which ain't cool either. But given what Carl said and you following his advice, the nut seems to be the root cause.
