Hi and thanks for reaching us
Cannot be certain from photo but some leaves appear to have early blight lesions. Some of the leaf yellowing could be caused by some other plant stressors.
Info: https://extension.umd.edu/resource/early-blight-tomatoes
Abiotic issues who can turn leaves yellow:
Over watering can cause root rot, nutriment deficiency or plant suffocation.
Compacted soil. Roots need space to grow and breath.
Lack of nutriments. A slow release fertilizer will give the nutriment needed over many weeks.
Good luck,
