sounds like it may be damping off due to overwatering. take a look at the base of the stem near the soil. do you see any thin weak spots? if so it is damping off which makes the stem weak and hard for the plant to hold itself up. just about all you can do is not water it for a while and let the soil dry out somewhat before watering again. make sure you arent watering super frequently a lot of the time with a young plant like this you can go 3-4 days without watering. I would feel how heavy the plant is after watering and pick up up to feel how heavy it is every day. then when the plant feels pretty light, compared to when it was watered, it is time to water again. watering using this method makes it really easy to prevent overwatering and the issues that come with it.

Hey buddy :-) Your plant doesn't look bad at all :-) When watering, don't pay attention to how wet the soil looks, not even how wet it feels, I would always notice from the beginning how easy the pot was to water is, you can also measure the weight at the beginning to get a feel for it. Whenever the pot is about as light, you can water something :-) have fun growing Bro 🍀👌
