I have multiple paragraphs with the line return of 0.1875pt between paragraphs. I want the last paragraph to have a line return of 0.375pt so that there is more space between the paragraph and the next title. How do I make this happen?

Create a "Body Text Last" based on "Body Text" with extra spacing after.

If you have a lot of text to apply it to, you could write a GREP find/change to help apply it. If there's not that much, use keyboard shortcuts or quick apply. But I don't think GREP will apply space below to a paragraph directly. That's done with Paragraph styles.

Add "space before" to the paragraph style you're using for the titles.

The answer that Ariel provided worked. However, it's not quite what I was looking for because depending on the paragraph style that comes after, for example, a large, medium or small title, I still have to do some playing around to make it look nice and even. That means I have to play around and check all pages instead of knowing the look will be the same throughout. Ideally, it would be great to have a format style that says after the last paragraph includes this space.

If you use a baseline grid and align to it, you can probably achieve your needs without style tweaking.
