It is impossible to tell what is wrong with a tree based on a photo.
Keeping bonsai healthy is done by shosing the right species for the climate, put it in a suitable location and keep it well watered. I would asume the same goes for "bringing back" an unhealthy tree.?

I am not sure of the species, but I am sure it should be outside. I looks like a serious case of chlorosis, a dose of Epson salts might help, This plant has been put into a bonsai pot far too soon, it needs growing for years to get the shape, I would be pruning hard and then adding fertiliser, and leave it to grow before doing anyhting else.

Yes, 100% sure it is clorosis. Not so sure about Epson salt. None of my trees has ever got any Epson salt and they do good without it. I believe in balanced fertilizers. Most of them contains magnesium.
But it makes sense to check your tap water parameters. If it is very low on magnesium or high calcium, Epson salt actually could be the right answer.

hey, what is it planted in? Plants get nutrition mainly from it's soil. If it has nothing to hold on to the nutrients you are putting on the tree through fertilisation it won't be able to absorb it.?
? ? it's definitely struggling with chlorosis so feed it with a good balanced fertiliser. I would suggest a liquid fertiliser in your case until it's healthy again, then next year you can switch to slow release pellets or similar.?
? ?I hope this helps

I get less and less motivated to spend my time helping people in the hobby for free. Why? Those damn AI robots.

Lets just say it is experience based.
Lets wait for the poster to come back and deny he is a robot
