You got it lucabento, use a lighter touch with your tongue on the face of the harmonica. If you watch my beginning lessons with Hob https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/hob_bosold and Sharon https://www.bluesharmonica.com/contributor/sharon-barrett, I emphasize many times in their lessons to use a light touch on the harmonica with their tongue (and lips).
Watch those videos. This will fix your problem.
Hello lucabento. This is very typical, it will get better with time. Focus on dropping your jaw a bit. Also drop the middle and back of your tongue. The front is used for achieving a single note, but the middle and back should be lowered, so that you can achieve a good tone and stop any unwanted bending. Watch the video titled, "My 2 draw and/or high-end notes sounds flat, airy or not at all!" on this page https://www.bluesharmonica.com/faq, it will outline what I'm saying. Good luck with this.
