What fish are in the tank? 85 seems a bit high for most fish. I think that it’s both the a/c and the heat of the water making it evaporate so quickly if you notice it the next day or two
Water vaporization?

I had a female red devil it's tricky getting my water temp to stay between 73-79 my room gets hot I'm talking about you can feel the heat on the window glass it's annoying. Even my tank gets hot. But that's what I walked into a hot room, water level dropping, and 85 degree tank. I'm thinking of moving the tank next against a wall. So I can prevent this in the winter cause that's when my room is icy cold.
Get some "blackout" curtains. They keep my bedroom 10/15 degrees cooler in a non ac apt than the rest of the place. And it's a south facing window to boot.
You could try putting ice in the tank. I’ve heard of people doing that with axolotl and other cold water animals. I’d you have a heater in the tank then take it out until winter like most people do. I don’t do that because my room gets freezing cold at night so I constantly have my heater on and my water’s usually at 76-82°
Floating plants might help some.
Unless it's making your house damp, or it's making your HOB splash...It's purely cosmetic. Fill it up more so the top of the tank covers the waterline, it looks better that way anyway.
