Usually the cause is too much direct light and/or overwatering! Your soil looks moist here on this picture, so best practice is to water when 75% dry!

Uhm your literally water boarding that b!tch, you can use the wood stick method to see if the soil is wet(if you stick a wooden dowel against the wall of the pot and pull it out it will show you if it’s wet, wet soil will dampen the rod and stick to it
