Hello,
I bought this nice tree 3 weeks ago and moved it to our apartment. There is plenty of indirect sunlight from both south (table) and north (tTV/couch) facing windows.
Our fig has been dropping A LOT of leaves, we have been sure to not overwater it – we check the soil levels weekly.
Any advice or tips?

No! thats not enough light. Get it next to the sun! Down by the doors if you’re married to that spot get grow lights it may still Bend and reach for the sunshine notice this and as usual rotate it each watering.
Edit *check for root bound and needs repotting. Read about or watch a utube I only use cactus potting mix and of course rocks in the bottom of pot.
It’s the perfect time to trim the roots you can do this to control growth or just remove any root that’s brown and musshie look
They will all look brown if you don’t Gently rinse the roots off there’s a video for that u tube
I used to really struggle and had to do some big chops and regrow I’ve learned a lot about how to care for them
*** when you have new growth your leaves may look speckled and to some extent is fine just water blowing ony the cells,also time to check that it’s not too wet or overwatered
Video there’s for that.
OMG biggest thing when they sell them they’re usually ready to repot or may have no drain holes
Very important to make sure you always have drain holes.
If you use fertilized mix then good
If you did not feed on schedule with specific fertilizer
Always make sure to feed the flf when repotting.
