You're truss rod may need tweaking, but a lot of the fret buzz may have to do with the wood itself beginning to warp. stand the guitar up on it's end and look straight down along the strings from the headstock down to the bridge, and see if the strings appear to be grazing the frets or if the fingerboard has a strange curve to it. Either way, taking it to a shop they should just be able to figure out exactly what is buzzing it. there are all sorts of little adjustments they can make.
