Unfortunately brown tips can be caused by over or under watering so it is not always easy to tell which is causing it. Was it pot bound when you replanted it? These plants do, like the soil to be a bit snug around the roots.

Also the extreme temperatures around the window may be a problem. I would change its position in the room . Also I would cut out the top and prune off back to the stem the damaged pieces. Just water occasionally Allow it to dry out a bit between watering. You can buy, quite cheaply a water gauge to help you measure the dampness.

Most likely a problem with the root of the plant. Such leaves come from excessive watering and rotting roots. How old is the plant? When did you transplant the flower? It is also important to pick up the soil. It should be loose. I recommend you to make a flower transplant. This needs to be done very carefully. Rethink the roots. Flower pot choose a new plastic planters getpotted.com/planters/plastic/ a larger bit of size than you have now. When transplanting, look at the roots for the presence of pests.
