Old tomato leaves showing chlorosis whilst rest of plant is fine (read desc)

Hi I've just taken these older leaves off my tomato plant and they look like this, none of the other leaves on the plant look this way so I was curious what this is caused by? is it just natural death of the leaf as new ones appear?

possible causes could include water stress, heat stress maybes? + whatever anyone else thinks this is? I don't think it's nutrient related as the plant has only just started flowering and this is new compost, will be adding tomorite once its flowers are fertilised though :)

suggestions or ideas are appreciated as I know very little about ailments and what different things with plants mean 😅😅

also also sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this
