I know others have already said you're watering too much, which is probably true, but I noticed this looks like a thai constellation. I think it might be getting sunburnt based on a similar thing happening to mine 2 years ago. Are the brown patches happening in the completely white parts of the leaves? If so that is probably it rather than too much water.

If you can post a picture of the soil by lifting it out of the nursery pot that would be helpful. That way people can see the root condition and type of soil that it is in. The suggestions for repotting it might be needed, but not the priority action if the browning isn't caused by a soil/water issue.

If you move the plant to get less sun and repot it all at the same time it could be a big shock to the already struggling plant.

It might be that you should move the plant then a month later change the soil, but without seeing the soil it is hard to be sure.

In general it sounds like you are watering too much, but those problems might not have materialised yet if you only had it 6 months. If possible, invest in a moisture probe and only water when the soil has dried rather than on any kind of schedule.
