What's wrong with my monstera?

When I first got this monstera it had root rot but that has been a while now and it's roots are much healthier after a month but these light brown markings keep appearing and I don't know the reason why and have looked everywhere to try find a matching picture of the problem to no success. 
Housing for this monstera is pretty simple as it's normally on a windowsill all day as I get a lot of pretty direct sunlight from it and then placed in my bathroom at night for an average of 3 hours after shower for the humidity then it's back on the windowsill for the night so I don't know what the issue could be so if you know that would be great thank you. There are a couple really light brown markings on the 2nd picture monstera leaf one of which is a thin line going across at the bottom that has caused the leaf to look a little folded in that area.

    Could be physical damage, possibly occurred before the leaves unfolded. It's hard not to when moving large plants around each day. Probably best to find it a permanent place to live where it will be happy. Maybe leave it near a window and mist it for humidity. They really prefer bright but indirect light rather than full sun but that doesn't look like sun damage to me.

    First pic definitely looks like physical damage to me, second pic the edge looks like physical damage but not sure about the one further up/in. I’ve zoomed in and can’t see any signs of spider mites or thrips which I’d expect to be the main pests you’d deal with for leaf damage. I’d just keep an eye on it and see if it gets any worse
