My BMR is 1767 and my calories burned from exercises are 794 which equals to 2561. Then How does my total calorie burned show 3563?

I expect you are assuming that any time you are not doing a workout or "exercising", then you are at BMR.  That is not the case.  The only time you are at BMR is if you are lying down in bed.  Just standing up, walking around your house or apartment, brushing your teeth, washing dishes, all raise your calorie burn above BMR but are generally not considered "exercises".

Before posting, re-read to see if it would make sense to someone else not looking at your Fitbit or phone.
