To me it does look sunburnt but the question would be was it outside getting direct sun in window or outside? If so I would say yes. If not then it may be a fungus or over water. (?) I’m not much help but those are my thoughts.

Cut off the burnt leaves and move the plant somewhere else where there is highlight, but no direct sunlight. About 1-5 feet from a window
