1) Tight means your starting cards are most often superior to your opponents' cards.

Tight also applies to post-flop. It means not sticking with 2nd best and worse hands. This discipline can breakdown when you are running bad. It's easy to dump overcards when you're hitting your share of flops. When not hitting, you may find yourself sticking with these hands and others when you should clearly be folding.
Caveat: there are, of course, situations where continuing with OCs is correct. Making good decisions with these weak draws is a hallmark, IMO, of TAG post-flop play.
"When I get called on the river, I lose." This suggests your post-flop play may be leaking a bit. Running bad sucks. I paired the flop >20% from October through January (s/b 32%). It is hard to raise AQo over and over again and fold the flop most of the time. Gets to the point where you don't want to see that bitch.
Good luck
