Clutch pedal losing pressure

Clutch pedal losing pressure
I replaced my clutch, master, and salve cylinder 2 years ago with all new parts. Haven't had issues with it till now. Basically I am losing my clutch pressure. When I press the clutch pedal down and hold it there for about 3sec, it starts losing pressure.
This happens especially when am backing up or in traffic since I have to hold the pedal down and balance the clutch. This of course is causing my car to stall all the time since once it loses pressure, the clutch fully engages without me letting go the pedal and i can’t get it out of gear since the clutch is already engaged.
So I have to let it stall and then pull the clutch pedal up with my foot and then pump it to get pressure so that I can at least shift into or out of gear. It drives fine when there is no traffic since am not holding down the clutch long enough for it to lose pressure.
I do not have any leaks and my master cylinder is full. I am just confused on what the problem could be. I am Suspecting master cylinder since i bought those cheap ones from AutoZone but then again i don’t know. Please help.
