It looks like a Philo or Alocasia? It may be the older leaves if it is an Alocasia but either way, I would give it more light if you are able. I’m not sure where this is placed in your home, but maybe move it closer to a window or get a grow light. It may also be a watering issue with watering too often. I would try to resolve both issues and see if it helps! Pests like spider mites can also cause yellowing leaves so I would check the backs of the leaves and spray with an insecticidal soap or neem oil just in case.

Be sure to look closely to rule out insects. I agree more light and monitor the soil. Try not to under or overwater the plant.
