What does this leaf yellow/browning mean for my Tomato’s?

A few weeks ago i clipped off a lower branch with completely yellowed leaves and started regularly fertilizing with N, P, and Mg especially through epsom salt which helped it go away. Now the yellowing has returned but is more turning the tips of leaves brown and causing droopy lower branches around my first cluster of tomato’s. There are some spots on some tomatoes as of today and more browning/yellowing not shown in pictures but all concentrated to lower branches. Any tips and suggestions of what to do is appreciated, also if you notice anything else as this is my second time growing tomatoes. Thank you for everyone’s time and help.
Hi @WeedyWillow sometimes this is completely normal. But then, not always. Could be nutrients except you’ve already addressed that. Could be watering, or too much fruit ripening, or other issues. Here’s a link to information on why your tomato leaves are turning brown and how to remedy. https://thisismygarden.com/2025/08/tomato-leaves-brown/
