Whats the cause of cloudy water?

The water in my tank is just slightly cloudy and I'm not sure why

Even tho I do my 30% water changes on on every Wednesday
I forced myself to do a 20% water change this morning
but the water went back to be a bit cloudy again

What do I do? Should I continue doing small water changes until it clears?

The usual cause of cloudy water is either a new tank or you getting rid of any beneficial bacteria.

Overfeeding could be a cause.

overfeeding and high nutrient levels after a water change

a little cloudy is not too bad, it will clear as time goes by
