Default White smoke

I'm not sure if this is a huge issue or I'm just overthinking it. But whenever I turn my car on, there is no white smoke coming out of the exhaust only on one side. Still, when the temperature gauge starts moving, I get white smoke but then once it gets to a certain threshold, it stops, and I don't have overheating issues, and my car doesn't misfire unless I put it under enough strain, I.e., letting the clutch out too quick. The Head gasket was changed in August of this year. I might need to retorque the heads, but I want professional input before deciding to do that because that would require taking the header off and because of how tight a spot it is, I would prefer not to. And if it's not the problem could it be a vaccine leak because there is also a p0171 code (system lean bank one).

Default Just to add

I'm not losing any coolant and if I am, it isn't enough to be noticeable.

Your on the right track to fix the code. Here is a link for other possibilities that would cause the code.
