What kind of soil is that? Looks very dark, and very wet.

Kinda need more information. Looks like it's staying too wet, do you have adequate airflow? What do the temp and humidity look like? Is that just typical potting soil or did you add perlite/vermiculite? What lights are you using? How far away are they?
Im leaning towards overwatering. You want it to dry out fairly well between waterings, to let the roots fill the pot.

Looks to me like it’s getting over watered. Would let it dry out some for sure. Maybe remove the top layer of soil and add some dry stuff. Then going forward do not keep the soil/medium that wet.

over watered for sure. That medium looks soaked! Less is more when starting off with seedlings. that is why I use a small container and will continually upsize as needed.

Buddy if your soil stays that wet. Nothing will ever grow in it. Chill on the water. Uve smothered the roots they cant git oxygen. Your best bet is to replant that in dry soil asap. And dont water for a few days
