Why is the leaf yellowing? Could it just be old or is it over/underwatering? Or something else?

It looks like it has been overwatered. Make sure to dry out your plant in between watering. If it doesn’t get better I would remove the plant from the soil and check out the roots to see if they are healthy!

Also if you have it, use a moisture meter, I have a few cacti which only gets water when fully dried.
