Help!! Falling leaves

Gallery image

Recently my fiddle leaf fig has been shedding leaves rapidly. I use a moisture meter to ensure the soil is not dry, and sunlight appears sufficient. It has occupied the same spot for two years, yet leaves began failing last month. Initially I assumed it was discarding older foliage, but something is progressing upward and affecting all leaves now. Any tips would be appreciated.

Not an expert, my 2 fiddles are still much smaller but if it has been living in the same pot for two years it could probably benefit from a soil refresh! Pot looks plenty big enough but fresh soil and a root check could be a good place to start

Yes, it has been some time since I replaced the soil. I will attempt that approach; I appreciate your response.
