First question- why the repot? 2nd - Did you up size? By how much? This looks like an overwater issue to me. FLF tend to bring the drama. I am super conservative on upsizing pots - have killed a lot of plants putting a small root ball in a big pot. They can’t deal with the high moisture in the extra soil. FLF’s like to be a bit root bound.

Looks like root rot. Leaves yellow and die off starting from the bottom. The repotting process should have shown dead rotten roots or a foul order in the soil. Root rot is caused by overwatering, as stated in the previous comment.

The pot looks too big for such a small ficus. Too much soil means the roots can’t use up all the water in the soil leaving the roots sitting in excess water too long causing root rot.
