If you notice those yellow leaves are the oldest leaves that plant has. At some point the plant sheds the old, and grows the new. So those really old leaves performed their duty when the plant was small, and now has very little use for them because of the new growth at the top.
So it looks OK, the plant would also like to be transplanted into a larger pot.

Yeah I would have it transplanted into a larger container with a fresh soil asap

Pretty damn close to normal, what's the NPK ratio of your nutes? The container looks small for how much the plant wants to grow, so when a plant is rootbound, small plant problems like this can occur. But generally, the oldest growth dies off first as it becomes unneeded. You just have to make sure it doesn't spread to newer growth. Transplanting it into a bigger pot with fresh soil would help it become more balanced once again. The bigger the roots the bigger the fruits

I'd suggest that you need a bigger pot. If you're talking about the yellow leaves at the bottom of the plant, those look like first set of leaves and they should die off.

Don't worry at all about 3-lobed leaves - they always fall off. The plants look very healthy - go easy on the nutes. Bigger pots for sure - 3to5gallon - and when you transplant, if your rootball has circling roots on the outside, cut them. Make four cuts across the bottom and up the sides with a razor knife,cutting the outer roots. Don't be shy - the plants will love it!
