Variegation is an unstable gene so they tend to turn brown in the white spots. I have a Thai, they can be picky. If u already have humidity on it, consider adding silica for sure. \*Possibly\* a little extra light as the white cannot absorb any light.

It’s also normal for the older leaves to die off following a repot, overwatering, other change in environment/conditions. Is the soil drying out between waterings? The top 1-2inches drying out can be a good rule of thumb for monsteras.
