My first thought is what is the water temp? Bettas like it warm, upper 70s to low 80s. When I had mine in an unheated tank, the temp was in the mid-70s and that's pretty much what it did. I threw a heater in and it got real lively.

Additionally, I'd lose the dry worms. Try some frozen bloodworms, live blackworms, betta pellets, etc. You can soak the food for a few minutes in some tank water with some garlic slices. Garlic is a good appetite stimulant.
