This is, actually, a pretty simple fix! This is a calcium deficiency, which causes blossom end rot. Calcium also likes to be paired with magnesium, since they rely on each other for uptake.

I would recommend using dolomitic lime in the soil before, during, and after, as this prevents many problems that will plague tomatoes, in ground, and especially in container.
