Indeed you are recording from the output of your computer. This will be
because you have selected the output of your computer as the recording
source. To change what you are recording from, you need to change the
sound card input you have selected in audacity.
This is what the input selector on the mixer toolbar is for:

record directly from your microphone.
If the selector is already set to Mic In, or greyed out so that you
cannot change what is selected, please see this page for
troubleshooting:

update them:
