    Tomatoes of any type will not grow well in winter. They need bright light. The good news is: the ones you buy on the market will germinate pretty well if sown in February or March.

    It does look like magnesium deficiency, but as said above, the main problem is that there is not enough STRONG light.
    Mg deficiency can be sorted with a single watering of Epsom Salts - 1 T-spoon in a litre of water will fix it.
    But your plant still needs more light on all the leaves, top to bottom - and 14-16 hours would be better.
    I sow my seeds 1st week in March.

    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    What size pot is it in, needs. 10 - 12” pot of good compost and feeding regularly.
    I  think it’s just starved now and coming to its end. It’s almost time to start sowing again for next year.
