I think this occurs because the side windows don't seal all of the way, but it doesn't go away even after the cab is warmed up, what is the solution?

Hi
Clue #1 that you give is that it doesn't go away even when the cab is warmed up. If the cab is completely warmed, the windows are warm enough to melt snow, then there should not be frost on them. On a really cold day, the fog on the inside of the glass may not go away where there is little airflow from the heater - like the back side glass of a van or station wagon.
If the fog persists on the front windows and front side windows as you drive the car a while - like maybe 30 minutes or so, then the problem may be something that is causing excessive humidity inside of the vehicle.
The cause could be melting snow on the carpets but it could be a small pinhole leak in the heater core. You should get the cooling system pressure checked to determine if there is a leak. If not, then attempt to increase the flow of dry air through the vehicle. If you can park in a sheltered area, leave the windows open a bit - maybe a quarter of an inch - after you park it for the night. If you can park inside of a garage, leave the windows open all the way.
If the windows leak and it rains followed by a cold spell, this can cause your problem also. Get the window gaskets replaced.
Removing the humidity inside of the vehicle is key to solving your problem.
Hope this is helpful.

You have a source of humidity in the car, not enough outside air coming through the heater and blown out. I suggest opening a rear window a crack and turning up your heater fan speed. If your defroster turns on the A/C or you have A/C...switch that on as well.

I have seen little fan gadgets for cars that you clip to the windows. Supposed to keep cars cooler in the summer. They probably have something similar for frosty windows, like a solar heater.

Run the defroster with the outside air intake on. Recirculated air contains too much moisture that has built up over time.

get new weather seals on the whole car. It's leaking somewhere.

turn your a/c on with the heater . this will take the moisture out of the cabin.
