Rubber tree help

HU-798200141

Hi, all-

I have a rubber tree plant that I have had since October. It did well in the fall and winter, but in the last month, the leaves are drooping a lot and the lower leaves, one at a time, discolor and drop. The discoloration is a light brownish, as opposed to the healthy dark green leaves. I have read a bunch of artciles, and am confused about if I am overwatering it, underwatering it, if the pot is too big, or if the light is not ample enough. It is in a room with a lot of light, but was on a wall away from a window and yesterday I moved it to a wall across from the window to increase the light. I water it once a week and it is dry to the touch when I put my finger on the top layer of soil. It is in Happy Frog potting soil in a terracotta pot. I recently added more soil on top because the roots were visible and I read these plants consume their soil. I fertilized once with Miracle Gro Shake and Feed All Purpose Plant Food. I would love any advice to save this plant!
