My teen daughter's 3 year old indoor lemon tree is dying and she desperately needs help

According to my daughter:

"​The center of the leaves become yellow, leaves start to thin and lose their gloss, then fall off with the slightest touch. The newer leaves begin withering and curl up. They feel leathery but are extremely thin. All of the plant is droopy, but roots are not mushy. There are no signs of pests and neem oil has already been tried. The citrus tree fertilizer didn't help either. The amount I'm watering, amount of light, and temperature are all correct. I'm running out of options here."

My daughter has carefully tended to this little tree every day for 3 years, since it was a seed (along with a couple other lemon trees​.) She also has an entiire room full of other ​plants. ​She takes her plants'​ care very seriously and is​ attached to them. We've been looking up plant conditions, to try to find a solution, to no avail If anyone has any ideas, we would​ be very grateful.
