I can't be certain from that one photo, but it looks a little similar to the spider mite damage I got on some of my plants recently.
I might be wrong, so don't freak out yet. It could be sun damage, a watering issue, and/or a problem with the soil it was planted in. Think about the conditions it's growing in, and figure out if it's an environmental issue that you can fix.
If it seems that there's a good chance that it's a pest issue, carefully check your plant for signs of pests such as aphids, mealybugs, or whatever your plant's species might be vulnerable to.
Also, look up images of spider mite damage, and see if it looks limilar to your leaves, and keep your eye out for signs of webbing. If it seems like it really might be spider mites, start searching the leaves with a good magnifying glass.
If you find pests, turn to pesticide as a last resort. It can kill beneficial insects as well as pests, and can be generally bad for the environment. There are a lot of methods for pest control online that should be pretty easy to find. So far, I've found a heavily diluted vinegar or isopropyl alcohol solution to be incredibly effective, with the main drawback being a slight chance of chemical burn if it's left on the leaves for too long without washing and/or whipping if off.
If it’s a disease issue then..... Idk. I don't have any experience with that one yet. Hopefully it's not a disease.
Good luck! Hope it pulls through!
