Upload a photo of the entire plant to show the other leaves. It could be an old leaf dying.

Planta glitches are blocking photo upload in the comments. Try editing the original by clicking the three dots in the upper right corner of the post. Try adding another photo in the edit.

Its hard to tell, but that last photo with the silver-ish spots on the underside looks like thrip damage to me. Maybe do some googling on them to see other signs/symptoms.

Are any of those black specs all over the plant moving? Sometimes you need to watch for a little while….if they are, isolate your plant and begin treating asap. Also keep am EXTREMELY close eye on any plants in its vicinity as thrips spread very easily.

The black spots are soil I recently repotted earlier before the picture
