1. Repot that monstrosity into several pots. It’s way overcrowded and you should have one stem in each pot.
2. Move it off of that A/C or heater. Whatever air is coming out of that is likely causing problems.
3. Looks like it’s getting okay light and has enough fertilizer to be going on with for now.
4. Basil likes to be chopped. Use it and prune it regularly and severely. They are not long lasting plants in the sense of it being a houseplant. They will live for years but the stems get woody at the base and no new leaves will grow from those spots. Once yours becomes unmanageable buy/plant/propagate a new one.
