I feel like I could be doing something to better my memorization of meanings.

The only answer is to immerse more. The more exposure you get to the words, the quicker you will get better at remembering them. Eventually, with certain words, it gets to a point where you can't remember a time when you didn't know those words.

While immersing, when I hear a word I am sure I should know, I look it up. More often then not I also get the meaning in my head before getting the translation/confirmation. After that it takes for me about 2-3 more times for the same word to be in my repertoire of words I recognize. But that is only hearing, not reading..

Also immerse more is really the key here. Also replay the audio of shows you recently watched or use compresses audio. Especially the compressed audio of shows when you do like dish washing or tasks like that where you can really focus on the audio while being productive in some sorts.
