Definitely not Ficus lyrata, but looks like an edible fig.
Is it deciduous?

No idea if it's deciduous -- I found the picture online with the description "Craning toward the light, a fig tree graces the apartment of Mieke's friends Charlotte and Miljan"

Probably a Brown Turkey, but I'm not sure.
Needs more light than it's getting.

Yes, looks like F. carica.

I once bought an "Italian Fig" (also F. carica) at a greenhouse. Was there amongst the indoor tropicals. Did ok indoors but loved summering outdoors better. It wasn't hardy in my zone but I could over winter it in the porch which was unheated.
