My grass is being overtaken by moss

The grass in my yard is dying because the moss is taking over. It is on the north side of my house and does get quite a bit of sun. Have been fertilizing and putting weed killer down quarterly.

Weed killer most likely won't do anything to moss, Janet has the right idea.
Dig up the moss and put down a bundle of grassseed sod. Improve the drainage. Trim branches as needed. Be diligent about weeds. Best wishes ☺️
Maybe the soil under the lawn is compacted so a good pair of golf shoes with spikes or the proper aerator should open up the lawn so the moisture goes down instead of sitting on top to form the moss.
That's bizarre, moss doesn't grow in the sun. That's why you always see it on the sides of rocks and trees that are in the shade🤔
Lime the lawn
