My code for the media query zooms out while active instead of stopping the browser from zooming out on mobile device

code I have for the media query as follows:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

I do not understand why this zooms the browser out while the code is not commented out, and when the code is commented out, it is zoomed in.
