Are the macros correct?

I’ve customized my macro goals to be low carb, so 40% protein, 30% each for carbs and fats.
When I look at my nutrients, for protein, it says I have an allowance of 126 g! I’m eating plenty of protein (60ish grams) and the macron tracker still says I need to eat 60 more grams of protein!
I think the calculation for grams of each macronutrient is working off current weight instead of off our calorie goal. This cannot be correct, is it???
