There appears to be a few different issues here. I am seeing a magnesium deficiency, but I think this might have more to do with the pH of the soil. But I even think this might have something to do with overwatering.

You should tip the pot on its side just a little, and see if you notice any smells coming from it. If it smell s like sulfur then there are sulfur reducing bacteria present. This will make the pH of the soil EXTREMELY acidic causing the symptoms that you are seeing.

I would recommend removing this and starting with fresh soil designed for fruit or citrus. This will be a much lighter mix and will let the plant dry out a bit. between watering.
