Does anyone know why the leaves are falling off this echeveria roundleaf? They are turning yellow, black, and wilting before they fall off.

Check the roots for rot. It looks overwatered especially if fungus gnats can live in the soil.

Your plant is in very poor condition. It will never look good. Best bet would be to prop the stem ends and give them proper care. It needs much more light (very etoliated), succulent soil, and succulent watering routine (only water when entire planter is dry). Plant probably has rotten roots and that is why the current situation.

And the pot is too big probably.  
I prefer terra cotta for my succulents, as it wicks excess moisture out of the soil 😊
