It seems unlikely that such a bound can holdholds except in generalvery special cases. For instance, it fails for round spheres, which have very large multiplicity of eigenvalues. In fact, for spheres the eigenvalue counting function has jumps of order $\lambda^{n-1}$. On a round 2-sphere, for a constant eigenvalue $\lambda $, the second term in your estimate will vary on order $\lambda$, which makes a uniform bound on the left hand side impossible.

For generic metrics where closed geodesics are "sparse," it's possible to strengthen the standard Weyl law, but I don't think there is any hope of getting an estimate asthe refinement isn't strong as you wantenough to give uniform bounds on the difference between eigenvalues and the asymptotic formula from Weyl's law. I believe the state of the art refinement of Weyl's law is due to Canzani and Galkowski, so that might beand their paper is a good reference. The relevant result is Theorem 7 on page 12.
