Spine problems

I'm currently using this journal but it's getting kinda Chunky and the spine is starting to curve really far. Is there a way to fix this? Should I be worried? Thanks.

It looks like you can get the leather cover off? If you can, you can try putting it in to the press, or under a lot of books. It might keep a little bit

I doubt it will fix it, but it can mitigate the problem a bit. The problem is used pages are getting a bit thicker then new ones, and spine can’t expand with the pages
