Noticed this on one of my plants. The leaves are developing light green patches in areas. A disease or something less worrying?

Is this a tomato disease, should I be worried?

Could be a nutrient deficiency as I suspect you have grown them on a windowsill in 3" pots.

They get kept in a east facing window sil, in good heat but quite a low level of ventilation. Could this have any factors to it?

Try some Tomorite feed. But I think that windowsill toms always look thin and leggy, they need a lot of light so they should be outside in full sun. Do you have a greenhouse?

Looks like the start of magnesium deficiency As above a spray of Epsom Salts should help. But a standard feed like Tomorite could make the situation worse.
