SOURCE: low pressure and flow on hot water side of single handle faucet
It could be one of two problems, one simple, one serious.
If you have steel pipes you may be experiencing reduced flow due to corrosion in your pipes. Reduced hot water pressure in the kitchen faucet is usually the first sign since this is the faucet that is most used in the home.
Repiping is a job for a professional. Another symptom you may need a repipe is orange colored or rusty water.

Disconnect everything from underneath. Remove the clips that hold the sink down. Run a thin putty knife around the top outer edge of the sink. Is is ready to push upward.

So I believe based on what you are writing, it's a double handle style faucet. So you loosened the set screw that holds the handle on which is located near the top of the handle close to where you would grab. I would totally remove it from the handle just to make sure its not catching on a burr. If you have pulled and it will not come off, you will have to use a handle puller. Your local hardware store should carry them for less than $10. When you see the puller, it will be self explanatory on how to use it. Sometimes the handles can be hard to remove especially if they haven't been removed in a long time. Worst case is that you will have to cut the handle off and replace both the stem and the handle. That can be a little more costly. Hope this helps.

Pry the hot/cold button off the top of the handle. Make sure the water is turned off below the sink.
Under the button should be screws. Remove the screws. Pry the handle off. Remove the stems by lifting then out.
That should give you access to the washers you need to change.

BEHIND THE HANDLE THERE SHOULD BE A SET SCREW THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE ON THE STEM. THE SET SCREW WILL BE BEHIND THE LONGEST PART OF THE HANDLE LOOK AROUND BACK OF THE HANDLE. AFTER REMOVING THE HANDLA THERE WILL BE A STEM AND A NUT THAT HOLDS THE ASSEMBLY IN THE HOUSING
