You said you kept a good schedule, does this mean you’re following this app in watering? If so, it’s probably getting overwatered. I recommend getting some bamboo skewers and putting it to the bottom of the pot first to make sure that the soil truly does need to be watered again. Most of the time I end up snoozing or skipping the watering task for my plants, especially in the winter. Sounds like it’s getting good light and as long as there are no pests, I would assume that might be the issue. It’ll bounce back, mine did the same thing because I was following the watering schedule, but I laid off the watering and only water when it actually needs it and now it’s doing great.

Thank you! I noticed that when I was following the app it was getting weird I let the soil dry out and checked it with a skewer the soil is dry but when I pulled out the skewer it did have dirt crumbs on it but they were dry so do I water?

Thank you! I did that and the skewer was dry so I did water!

It is about 2 feet from my window and it has indoor plant potting soil mix should I switch to a tropical plant soil?

I think the soil is fine but I would move it closer to the window if you are able.
