Got this plant little over 2months ago, and some ofnthe leaves have started to dry out(?) or so it looks like at least. Is this a sign of too little watering? Have tried to keep water consistant, but slightly unsure what is happening.

Any tips appriciated!

I'll agree that it looks like watering issues. It could be inconsistent or overwatering leading to cell damage in the leaves, though I wouldn't rule out root rot or pests since watering issues can invite both. If you are really concerned, you could repot with fresh potting soil and inspect the roots for damage. Wipe the top and bottom of the leaves with a damp paper towel and look for pests just in case.
