My girlfriend keeps lying

I have been with my girlfriend, Will call her Olivia, for several months now and at first things were really great, we had a really good connection. We were open about everything whether we were ashamed of it or not. But lately a lot has been surfacing. I get really bad anxiety sometimes and my girlfriend knows this. Basically she has a habit of “half swiping” where you view the person’s message without them seeing that you read it, so to me it still says delivered. I didn’t mind it at first and I made a joke about it, but then she was denying. Fast forward to a week or two ago and it got brought up and she admit to lying about it and didn’t really have a reason for why. Her friend, call them Amber, was on the phone with us and us 3 were all playing some online uno game. Amber got back with her ex and they were talking about it but then Amber tried justifying it by saying “If you could get with one of your exes again I know you would.” Olivia denied it and we talked about it the next day and I thought it was resolved and not a big deal. She probably didn’t mean it in a bad way and just didn’t think before speaking. Unrelated to that, a few weeks later Olivia got a text from her ex, call him Matt, and he was basically just trying to start drama. Olivia was venting about it and I suggested just blocking him if he was overwhelming her, so she did and I later told her that I appreciated how simple it was and she said that she blocked him on everything. Then today I was on the phone with Olivia and Amber and they were talking about Matt, saying that they were watching his tiktoks and liking them. I don’t know what to do, i’m not sure if i’m overthinking this whole thing or if there should be actual concern. I love my girlfriend and will always work to resolve anything between us, but I just feel as if things are one sided because I can’t talk to her about these lies without her people pleasing and just agreeing with what I’m saying. Please give advice, i’m at a loss of what to do, breaking up is not an option i am even considering for a moment so please don’t suggest it.
