Olive tree not doing well :(

Hi! My little olive tree was doing ok (I guess) for some time but recently I noticed that its leaves have turned pale and some of them even slightly orange??? (When I cut a little branch, it’s hard to cut and green inside, so I assume it’s not dead) Any ideas what it could be and how to cure it?
1ft to light, direct
7” pot with drainage

Be sure to give your olive tree plenty of light, preferably through a south-facing window, to help it thrive in an indoor environment. If you don't have enough natural light, get a full spectrum grow light to supplement. It's also important to keep the potting soil moist, but don't overwater your tree.

@PlenaryCuttings the window actually is south-facing, I also water it regularly :(
