Twitching, note accuracy

I've noticed that I can't buzz many notes below a D below the staff without radically changing my embouchure, if at all. As I ascend into medium-high notes(still in the staff), I start to "twitch" and make sputtery noises when I try to buzz certain notes. I get the feeling that this is affecting my playing, as my note accuracy has gone down the toilet as of late, causing notes to be under/overshot or turned into a sputtery mess. Could the fact that my lips are slightly protruded when I play, with very loose corners, be related to this? More importantly, is there anything I can do to stop this twitching/note inaccuracy problem?
