I’m not sure what damaged the leaves but fyi it looks like a raindrop Peperomia to me fyi (if correct may affect optimal care directions)

You can’t “fix” brown spots.. once leaves turn brown they don’t turn back green. The plant looks pretty healthy other than the spots though.

Several conditions can cause brown spots: excess water (edema), excess light (sunburn), low humidity (dryness), over fertilization (chemical burn), pests, or root damage.

Insecticidal systemic granules in the soil can stop or prevent larvae that eats roots and produce fungus gnats and other pests. Adjusting watering schedule, changing the soil to one with better drainage and moving the plant to bright indirect light, if necessary, may help. Changing the soil will help if you suspect excess fertilizer. Good look🍀🪴

It looks like a very healthy plant to me. I also got mine with a few brown spots and they will just stay that way or when the plant gets older it will fall off.
