Yes, you should loosen and then retorque. It's important not to stop tightening as you near the last several pounds. If you simply try to retorque a fastener in its static state, you have to overcome static friction, also known as breakaway torque. You wil be fooling yourself. You probably need to back off 1/4 turn and tighten in a continuous movement until you hit the torque or hear the click.
