My tomatoes have a lot of problems. Any suggestions on how to get them looking good again & producing some more nice fruit.
Worms, maybe blossom end rot too?

Feeding tomatoes Nutone helps to keep them healthy strong and well fed. When I have a bug problem which is rare I kill them and leave the dead bodies which acts as a deterrent. I also keep mint in the garden. Are your tomatoes getting enough light and air circulation? Too much water?

Your tomatoes appear to have a calcium deficiency.Have you fed the plants and what did you use?

When we plant our garden we always put some dead fish in the hole right under the roots. It does not attract cats but the plants end up over 6' tall!

Blossom end rot usually shows up on bottom. I find some have the problem worse than others. Next year look for Rutger's Big Boys. Even if you have to buy a pack and start them yourself. Better Boys and Better Girls are worst I've ever seen for blossom end rot.

I use dry powdered milk to help with bottom rot. I also use 1 tsp. Of epsom salt around the base of each plant. My plants were fantastic this year.

Before you add anything get online to the NC local extension office. It will tell you how to take a soil sample. Take the sample to the extension office. It is found under state government offices. You will receive a letter telling you exactly what you need to add to your soil to make it so you can grow great vegetables. As a side note, I always add 1/4 cup of epsom salt to the soil when planting tomatoes and peppers. I also sprinkle some around the plants every 2-3 weeks. It is magnesium sulfate. Toms and peps love it. My tomato plants are heavy producers.
