Overwatering cause leaves become heavy and drop.

Wait until it dries then water it

When was the last time you watered? Also, does your pot have drainage? Another thought may be that it could be starting to become rootbound

@Marthamaywho92 I probably watered it 5 days ago, and the pot has drainage, I'll check the roots

If you've watered 5days ago and it isnt under direct light, it shouldnt be drooping from underwatering.
Use your finger to ensure at least 3inches deep is dry before watering. Your soil looks compact and heavy? Would be good to use a lighter mix.
