Check for pests, but I’d guess cold damage based on looks.

It looks sun burnt to me too, while they love light, they don’t like direct light and burn pretty easily. I moved mine under a grow light as this had started to happen to mine when they were in the window.

I just saw your comment about the grow light, it might be too close to it. My bad! 😅
