Curious if you added tape to the threads ? There is also a loctite product, not specifically for plumbing but may solve the problem. Photos attached of each. Good luck
Purchase a tub and faucet tool for tightening up the faucet. If you've already done that, the threads may be stripped.
Go underneath the sink and tighten the nut that hold the faucet to the sink. If necessar, place a rubber washer between the nut and the sink.
Definitely needs to be tightened, Teflon tape will help https://www.mommypotamus.com/7-ways-get-rid-ants-naturally/

If a faucet tool is needed this is the one my plumber uses and it works like a charm.
EZ faucet tool is the best. Good luck
