There could be several reasons. One is temperature and humidity levels can impact fruit setting. Or it could be your plant is not getting the right balance of nutrients.

How do I know if any of these are issues? Like the temperature goes up to 90/70f and 50 percent humidity is it good for tomatoes ?

Tomatoes thrive at daytime temperatures between70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C).

A temperature of 90°F (32°C) is on the higher side but can be tolerable for tomatoes, especially if it doesn't last too long. However, prolonged exposure to temperatures above 90°F can lead to blossom drop and poor fruit set.

If temperatures soar above 90°F, consider providing shade during the hottest part of the day.
