Looks overwatered. Maybe even have the start of root rot. I’d remove all the soil and check for root rot. Remove all of the bad roots and add well draining soil. You can add perlite or rocks to the soil for extra drainage! Aloe are desert plants so they love heat, humidity and very little water! I let my soil completely dry out before watering again.

Thank you so much

Also make sure your pot has drainage holes as well

Give it as much direct sunlight as you can too

it looks pretty overwatered, if you live in a hot climate you can put it out there, that’s what i used to do and it grew gigantic. Make sure it has drainage holes and the right soil
