Can someone please tell me what’s up with my plant and how I can help it? I’ll admit she could probably use more sun so I’m not sure if these are burn marks, should I water more or less?? Thank you!! :\]

The soil is still really wet from last weeks water so I’m a lil scared of over watering 🥲

I would check it over really well for pests like thrips. It looks like that's a newer leaf, so they're a bit more suseptible to things like pests or edema from over watering.

Looks like overwatering based on the oily semi translucent leaves. It’s easier to see looking at the back of the leaves. Look for oily looking patches.  
Causes:  
\- Pot too big holding too much water on the roots  
\- Poor draining soil  
\- Pot sitting in water too long  
\- Self watering devices are refilled too often  
\- Too little light and lower temperatures slow growth process. Plants need less water during these conditions, especially colder months.

I recommend checking the roots. Root rot is common with excess water in the soil.  
Stop watering until the soil almost completely dries.  
Repot to a smaller pot, if needed, changing the soil to a well draining one if excessive wetness or root rot is found. 🍀🪴
