Overwatering is the problem, along with low humidity. It should be in bright, indirect sunlight.

have you ever fertilized? it doesn’t look like a watering or light problem to me. if you never fertilized try snipping those and fertilizing the plant

The vibrant green leaves shows it gets enough fertilizer.

Increased lighting will bring out more of the white variegation. I agree that it looks like overwatering. I recommend changing the soil if it’s too wet or slow to dry. Check for root rot and remove. Disinfect roots with hydrogen peroxide before adding new soil.  
Moving it to a brighter location (or adding a grow light) will help the plant use more water through photosynthesis and more growth. Let the soil dry more between watering. 🍀🪴
