Does anyone know what could cause these brown spots on my avocado plant?

root rot maybe? it’s hard to tell sometimes bc some diseases look similar. my mango got root rot and it had black/brown spots on the leaves

Could be overwatering causing swelling/water bubbles (edema) that collapse leaving pock marks. The areas usually dry out later. The yellowing leaf color looks like overwatering as well.

Over watering leads to root rot, as stated above.
