Succulent care! Please help!

Hello! I've had my succulent for about eight months now, so I'm still fairly new to this. I believe it's a type of echeveria.
Below is how my succulent looked when I first got it:

And this is how it looks today:

First off, as you can see, the bottom leaves are falling off. I used to water it once a week, but changed it to twice a week, because I was afraid I was not watering it enough. Still, the bottom leaves tend to get soft, wrinkled and discolored as seen here:

Secondly, my succulent seems to be leaning to one side. I usually place my plant in my room, next to a north-facing window.
Am I over-watering it, causing it to rot? If so, how often should I water it and how do I save it? Also, is my succulent getting enough light? Why is it leaning to one side?

Any advice is much appreciated!
