Picture on how it looks now:

As you see, all leafs are on the same height since the plant doesn't grow.

It stands right next to a window, so lack of light is probably not the problem. The temperature is about 75.2 F, and I guess that the humidity is at least 50% since it also stands right next to an open aquarium.

Do anyone have any clue to what the problem might be?
Great name you chose there .....

Your plant will benefit from being outdoors...
Generally a greenhouse plant will start to decline in health when you bring it home and try to grow it.

Usually in about 60-90-days.

There is no such thing as an indoor banana plant. I know sorry.....Advertising hype to sell you the plant

If you purchased the plant 60 days ago then your plant is just showing its displeasure of being indoors...your plant will not grow well indoors and will need to go outside.

Do all the cool stuff in the previous posts and move the plant outside for the summer......you will see a remarkable change.
