Not enough sun or it could be that it has to much sun

Nothing is wrong with your plant. Thats an old growth baby leaf which die off as the plant grows. Completely normal part of cycle.

You may want to change out that coco coir soil that nurseries pot Alocasia in to avoid future rot/fungal/yellowing problems on adult leaves though. They prefer an aroid chunky airy mix substrate.
