Does this happen with more than one lens? Does the mirror look like it's in it's proper position when the film is wound? Did you watch the action of the mirror to see if it is rising when you wind the film? Did this just start, or was the camera like that when you got it? Can you tell if the focus point is in the front or back of the subject? What could be happening, is the mirror is out of alignment, and thus throwing off your focus. It depends on (at rest) whether it is hanging too low, or too high, which way the focus will be off. Looking at my A-1 (forerunner to the AE-1P) there is a stop to keep the mirror from hanging too low, and I figure it's similar on your model. So if you can push the mirror any distance against the stop, then it is hanging too high. I've luckily not had to take one of these apart, so I can't tell you how to adjust it if that is the problem.
