Black spot fungus

No that is not black spot fungus. This is most likely edema from overwatering, the leaves look like they are yellowing and wilting, another indicator of overwatering. Check the roots for rot and let her dry out a bit more in between watering.

Yes that’s what my sister told me too haha this is my first and only monstera and I thought they didn’t like to dry out completely so I waited until 25% dry she told me she waits until hers is fully dry before watering. I’m learning! Thank you!
