Have you checked it for pests?

Is it in a pot that allows drainage? (I have pots that have a drainage compartment underneath that you can empty of you overwater, also allows more oxygen around the roots)
Constant wet roots causes root rot that can make the plant appear to be under watered!
Allow the soil to dry a few inches from the top before watering again. I find deep watering (watering until the drain pot is gushing) and then waiting till the soil is dry is more beneficial than frequent watering.

That soil looks quite compacted, are you watering on a schedule or by testing the moss of soil? Also, you may want to prop it up with a moss pole (for now at least), it may needs some support.

It needs way more light.

With monsteras the answer usually has to do with watering and/or soil conditions

Change the potting mix to chunky airoid and give it some liht!

This is what I would do and what i recommend: put it in a spot that gets as much light as possible, add lots of orchid bark to the soil, remove that dying leaf, give it some fertilizer, attach a stick or pole to stabilize it.

I have mine in a south facing window and it’s allll up in the window lol!
This poor baby would probably love to be the center of attention in a very sunny window. Might also do well in a slightly larger pot 🤔

As others have said, it needs a LOT more light. If you’re in the northern hemisphere, try south, east or west facing windows. North and northeast exposure isn’t enough (unless you’re south of the equator).
If you don’t have a bright enough spot for it, invest in a high quality grow light for supplemental lighting.
