“…, isn't it?”
Match the tag to the verb: “You're coming tomorrow, aren't you?”. Or use “right?”, which works after any sentence. “Isn't it” as a tag on every sentence is a South Asian pattern.

Why it lands differently
In global English the tag repeats the sentence's own verb and subject: “She works here, doesn't she?”, “They've left, haven't they?”. “Isn't it” is correct only when the sentence is about “it”: “It's cold, isn't it?”. When tags feel slow to build mid-conversation, “right?” is the easy universal one.
When it's fine
After sentences about “it”: “It's a good plan, isn't it?”
Try it out loud
Read each line, say a version that travels out loud, then open it to compare. Any version that's clear to a listener abroad counts.
