Fiddle leaf fig tree dropping leaf and developing more brown spots

I purchased a FLF a bit more than 2 months ago, and I posted here about a month ago regarding brown spots on the leaves of the plant (link to the post). In the past 2 months, I've only watered my plant once, about 2 weeks ago, when the soil became very dry. To water it, I moved the plant into my bathtub, and used tap water to water it until water kept coming out of the drain holes for a couple of minutes. After watering, I made sure to tilt the pot a bit and leave the pot in that position to drain for a couple of hours before I moved it back to where I normally place it.

Since I watered the plant, I've noticed that the leaves have been developing more brown spots and that existing brown spots have been getting larger. I've also noticed that there are crystal-like particles in the soil. And this morning, a leaf from the lowest branch fell. I am not sure what to do about this. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
