    It is most likely overwatering. Rosemary plants like to be in dry soil. This article has more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/watering-rosemary.htm

    I would not use fertilizer on rosemary (or most herbs). The reason being that fertilizer will cause rapid growth and the plant cannot keep up with producing the chemicals that create the flavor at the same rate as the growth. It results in a less flavorful leaf on the plant which means a poorer quality herb for cooking.

    Rosemary shrubs normally do not respond well to rejuvenation pruning. That being said, be aware that there is a chance you will lose the shrub, which is possible anyway due to the overwatering. This article should help you with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/pruning-rosemary.htm

    In the event that the plant does not make it, you may want to take a few cuttings in order to start new plants. This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/how-to-propagate-a-rosemary-plant.htm

    Any of the following should be suitable: Arp rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Arp’), Dutch Mill rosemary (R. officinalis ‘Dutch Mill’), Madalene Hill rosemary (R. officinalis ‘Madalene Hill’), Nancy Howard rosemary (R. officinalis var. albiflorus ‘Nancy Howard’)

    It is possible the plant has a fungus, or it is also possible that the plant has too little water. This article will help with indoor care: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/grow-rosemary-indoors.htm

    Treat the plant with a fungicide to help with any fungus issues.

    The only other thing I can think of other than a watering issue would be a fungus. You could try treating it with a fungicide, like neem oil, to help it recover. If this does not work, you may want to try propagating a new plant from a healthy portion of the tree. This article will help with that: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/rosemary/how-to-propagate-a-rosemary-plant.htm
