Unfortunately the leaves with damage may need to be pruned but it looks like it’s possibly just from over watering! Try watering it less frequently or only when the soil feels almost dry and see if that prevents it in the future! Hope that helps:)

Beautiful plant btw and apart from those couple leaves the plant looks very healthy!:)

Could be lighting and or humidity but also due to the time a year it seems a lot of plants are killing off older leaves for the fact summer is almost over so it could just be that as well start with the previous mentioned watering and just do a search see what your plant likes
