I would first adjust the striker plate, so the door sucks in a bit
tighter, when you close the door.

If this remidy fails, then start moving the hinges.

Usually it's the striker plate that get's out of wack first from a
gazzilion slams.
And of course old age kicks in with the hinge pins too.

Either way, your going to have to move them both if you do move the
hinges.

Start with the easiest, and then go to the PITA adjustment.

Later,
