Fiddle leaf figs can be sensitive, so if you got it recently it might take some time to adjust and find new ideal conditions. It does look like maybe it has some powdery mildew on the leaves. I’d try to treat it with Neem oil and a fungicide. I’m hesitant to suggest fresh soil because fiddles don’t always like change but if it keeps getting worse could be your soil is infected. Before repotting maybe spray the treatment into the soil as well as on the leaves. I usually only water when it has dried out completely and aerate the soil one week after watering to help with drying out evenly. Lastly give it consistent light. It can handle high light but I keep mine in a northeast window and it still does well. I find they thrive best with consistency.
