You most likely have a problem with your battery or the charging circuit. You must start by eliminating the battery as the potential source of problems. Use a battery utility, such as coconutBattery (for Mac) or 3uTools (for Windows). It will tell you what the health of the battery is. Anything less than 70% of design capacity will require replacement. You can easily replace the battery by following this guide. If the battery looks good, then the issue will be with the charging circuit on the logic board. This will require a micro-soldering repair.
Might be that you have faulty charger port. Replacing and or cleaning the port could be your fix. Cleaning entails determining if there is debris stuck in your charger port, which can be cleaned with a tooth brush and alcohol.
