I am using SQL 2008 (prod server). Total server memory is 16 gb. I assigned for sql 12 GB and setting max and min limit in SQL memory settings. Currently the sql utilizes total memory it did not release the memory. Currently there is no active transaction and no blocking and dead locks & all jobs are in idle mode.

What I have tried:

How to release the memory. After restarting the SQL server it releases memory.

Please help.
