More and more of the leaves are dried out and the Plant is about to die.
I bought this lovely plant about a month ago and i watered it every week. But now it is dying and i don't know how to help. The soil is not dry or anything. The Plant gets indirect light, is that maybe the problem? I did not repott it when i bought it. Thanks for your help

You don’t want to water on a schedule, water when the plant needs it. Check the roots for rot. You may be able to trim the rot, remove the dead leaves and stems and repot in new soil. I do a coir, perlite, sphagnum mix.
Exactly what tomsauce said. Slow down the watering on your calathea. I did this last winter and my plant was basically the same in appearance and health. That MF’er sprung back hard after I realized I was waterboarding it and is now huge this winter and doing well.
Just give it water when it needs it. Youre waterboarding it. Let it dry out for now, and then keep it a little moist. But only water when the plant needs it
It needs to be watered a little more often than not. I learned the hard way. They are thirsty plants
