Have you been fertilizing at all?
Generally when my leaves on a tomato aren’t dark green it means I missed fertilizing and they could use some food, not just a drink of water 🙂
Is this a dwarf variety? If not, it also likely needs a bigger container with some more potting soil (in addition to a healthy drink of water & fertilizer). Whenever it’s really hot out, you’ve got to give it a good amount of water to cool down. But make sure your soil has ingredients like perlite, vermiculite, or rice hulls to help with drainage, otherwise the soil can get too compacted & the roots end up suffering.
Are you mulching? That also helps with water retention & can keep the soil cooler. Best of luck!
Could you plant it outdoors in the ground? Indoors, in a small pot like this, with inadequate light, it is a losing battle.
