It seems like your plant's leaves are experiencing a combination of yellowing and spotting. This often happens due to overwatering, lack of drainage, or sometimes due to disease like root rot or a fungal infection.
For overwatering, check that the soil is allowed to dry out between waterings, and make sure that the pot has proper drainage. If the roots are constantly sitting in water, they can rot, which leads to yellowing leaves.
Another factor could be insufficient light. If the plant is not getting enough light, it can also lead to yellowing as the plant struggles to photosynthesize effectively.
If you're noticing spots or browning, consider a fungal infection or a nutrient deficiency, particularly in potassium or nitrogen. A fungicide might help, or checking if your plant needs additional nutrients.
Consider pruning off the yellow or infected leaves to help your plant focus on healthy growth. Keep monitoring your watering schedule and light conditions to avoid recurrence.

My golden goddess/ Malay gold regularly sheds her bottom leaves they turn yellow & I pluck them right off (but she’s like a 5+ yr old plant)
