It could be a watering/soil issue or a lighting issue. It appears to be happening very slowly though so it may be a subtle change that’s needed.  
First thing is always to check your soil. Is it draining quickly? Is the soil remaining wet for too long? Is the pot the right size for the plant?  
Then check your lighting to make sure she’s getting sufficient light.  
Hope that helps! Godspeed! 💚💚
