I know nothing about plants/weeds but it looks a bit like Japanese knotweed - if it is get profession advice asap. There is a GOV site which provides advice

Any keen gardeners here? I have these oily leaves that a popping up in patches on my front lawn. I try and pull them out as best I can but they keep coming back in force! Weed killer for lawns has no impact either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It could be Bindweed but I would have thought the weedkiller would have killed it.
It's not Japanese knotweed. But, I don't know what it is.
My lawn is the opposite. I have the odd blade of grass coming up between the weeds.
Buy a weed killer called Roundup, the concentrate and not the ready mixed liquid. Make it up twice the recommended strength and put it in a small hand sprayer and spot spray the weeds. Read the instructions in relation to pets etc.
If that doesn’t sort it, you have problems.
Just wear gloves! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47633086
Bruise the leaves first before you apply the weed treatment and as mentioned add a little washing up liquid to act a a wetting agent.

Roundup is available in gel-stick form for just this purpose.
There's a technique called weed-wiping which should work. As said, use gloves, apply weedkiller with a cloth to the weed's leaves.
Looks a bit like sorrel:

Could be wild garlic...?
