It looks like it rots in the stem. I have tried transplanting them and they seem to have the same problem. Not my first time planting tomatoes but its the first time this has happened.

It doesn’t look like you are using soil for containers. What are you using?

We need more info
How big is the pot, what kind of tomato is there drainage, what kind of soil etc

Rot around the base could be damping off. The soil looks compacted, so there might be too much water sitting around the stem, causing rot.

I have never had any luck with pots. They need to be in the ground. Have to make sure that the soil has al the right amount of nutrients in the soil.

I can immediately tell this soil is bad quality. Try mixing dirt from the hardware store with some perlite

Dampening off. Your soil is too moist so the fungus that *can* rot it is happily ensconced. The trick to fight it is two fold: 1) keep your top layer dry, and 2) got more oxygen in your soil via nooks and crannies (perlite is great for this).
