Thanks for submitting the details of your Monstera.  I’m afraid your plant has a rather severe thrips infestation – the small yellowish larvae are very clear:

Here’s how you can work on treating it but I must warn you, it will take several months of regular treatment to fully eradicate them – you may see new larvae every few weeks for quite some time.  If you can easily replace the plant, I would suggest throwing it out and getting a new one since a thrips infestation this far gone is very difficult to fully eradicate.

As your plant continues to grow, you should be using fertilizer on a regular basis – more info here.
