1) You might be over-watering. Soil looks very organic.
2) You don't have to fertilize so often. What type of fertilizer are you using?
3) Trees like being outdoors. If temperatures are about 45 degrees, consider it taking it outside. If your tree spends its entire life indoors it is unlikely it will thrive.

If you take it outside, take it to a shadowy spot until it recovers, do not put it on full sun yet. What type of fertilizer are you using. And that soil... what type of soil is that? do you know?

I don't know about that fertilizer. I guess follow instructions. If you take it outside, don't just take it "for a little bit" trees don't like to be moved around. The way it works is, you take it outside for the summer. When temperatures reach 7-10 degrees Celcius (for this particular species), you bring it inside and keep it inside for the winter. you don't have to wait until it gets that cold though. Read about bonsai soil mixtures and repotting. Your tree is not doing so well. And my guess is:
1) Bad soil
2) Doesn't like to be indoors under such bad condition.
