Beginner Gardening: is this approach correct for fungus gnats?, 4 by sgvaibhav

So basically, my leaves were yellowing before i applied cinnamon powder.
After applying cinnamon powder, i moved my plant outdoor, so it gets some wind and the gnats get a place to run away maybe.

But i think direct sunlight outdoor in my balcony caused leaves to scorch and many more leaves became yellow.
So i bought it inside within 5 days.


Now it has been few weeks since its inside but so many leaves had been yellowing and i might have plucked more than 10 leaves....

The plant looked very little, compared to the pot size( it was already in a bigger pot and further lost so many leaves).
So i decided to re-pot in a suitable pot size.
Weirdly after having so much space and so big pot, i discovered the plant is root bound to some extent. Can this cause the leaves to become yellow, brown?

The fungus gnat infestation is cured by 70%.
There are flying fungus gnats but it all seems in control compared to what it was before.


I have repotted in smaller pot today as you all can see in the pictures, but any advice on what i should do with the root-bound?

Today's picture attached after repotting

Fungus gnat is no more a problem, but yellowing, browning and losing my leaves are a problem now.
