Tried to reduce water, water less frequent, no fertiliser, with fertiliser, top watering, bottom watering, grow light, rain water, water from dehumidifier, anything else can do to save it?
Have you taken it out of the substrate and checked the roots? I also don’t think the spot it’s in has enough light. Mine started to do really badly when I moved it to a corner of the room away from the window.

Not enough light, to start.
Check roots for rot

light for sure, move it next to window in wintertime. It is shocking how much less light there is during winter

Check for pests as well, on top of the other suggestions.

Check roots for rot, spray them with hydrogen peroxide and repot. Mine was close to death bc the soil wasn’t draining enough and root rot set it quickly.

I’ve had one of these for about 4 years, and it’s never not looked like this. It’s currently under grow lights, roots are fine… I’ve tried watering more, watering less.
I call it my biggest little bitch.

Hard to see in the pics, but could be thrips

Damn I feel bad for those speakers. Plants and speakers do not mix.

Repot. Will help if you over fertilized previously. And trim off the sick leaves. I prune mine several times a year, and water about once every two weeks for context. My lighting seems similar to yours. I’ve not looked up how to properly care for these plants, but I have three now that are all doing well, and the main diff compared to my other plants is I kind of ignore them.

I have a monstera with leaves that look uncomfortably similar, and the issue is thrips. In the yellow and brown areas, check for small black dots (their poop). If you look closely, you should also be able to see thrips themselves. Adult are longish small black things, and the larvae are white, wormy and very small.
I really hope it’s not that but it just looks exactly like thrips damage.

What’s the lighting situation? Whats the soil look like? Looks like it’s in a small pot placed in a larger pot but I could be wrong. Is there any heating element near by like a space heater or furnace? What is your watering schedule?

Needs new soil. Repot with half soil, half perlite. Regular indoor soil is too dense and stays wet way too long. When you repot check for mushy stink roots and remove them. If the plant is root bound then plant in a pot one size up.
Cut out all of the yellow leaves so it doesn’t spread and waste energy that the plant can be using to heal itself.

I have to use the Planta app to keep mine alive.
