It has gotten old. Fruit trees get old and quit producing much fruit and the fruit usually isn't very good.
You may have a citrus fruit disease called “citrus greening”. Older citrus trees are not resistant to it. It’s especially a problem in Florida. Call your local farming extension agent to have them diagnose the problem and suggest a cure.
It might as others have said be that the tree is old. I have an orange and lemon tree, both are young though. But sometimes their leaves look as yours do in this pic. I read where citrus trees need nitrogen so it might be that your tree isn’t getting enough of this.
Too much water soil needs dried out;citrus greening the leaves are more mottled with blotchy leaves
