in majority of cases with browning of leaves, its possible overwatering so maybe cut back and slowly add more if needed - it can also be underwatering as well

Thank you so much that makes sense now

if neither of these things work, possibly try looking at the root system - to see for any root rot and place less directly in sunlight if its by a window

How do you check root system?

let the plant dry out a bit and gently lift it up, like you would do for repotting :)
