With starting, is can be the battery, terminal corrosion, ignition switch, starter solenoid, starter brushes, neutral safety switch or clutch safety switch, or engine ground strap.
You can narrow it down by placing a voltmeter across the battery terminals and comparing voltage drop when cranking, with restore voltage when you stop. A bad battery will not come back up to 12.5 volts after cranking. Bad connections, brushes, etc., won't drop down to 10 while cranking. Binding or shorting will drop too low, down to 9 or less.
Yes, it could be your starter or battery cables are loose, check them and tight the bolts
Before you assume that the starter motor is to blame make sure it is not the battery or connection / cables on the battery. Also, check the starter solenoid.
Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities.
It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then
it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or
no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition
coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.
To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.
