My Inspire 3 watch is counting my calories too high, it says I regularly burn 3000 calories. I don't even eat 2000 calories usually, which this means I'd be in a massive calorie deficit, but I'm maintaining my weight.

I am a 5'4 130 pound 20 year old man who goes for light walks and occasional light jogs, and I work out at the gym 4 days a week.

Hi, @sammythestrong, welcome to the community. A section explains calorie values in How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity? , I draw your attention to BMR.

I assume you have already entered your gender, weight etc in nutrition and weight when you set up your device. The Fitbit app uses this information to work out your calorie budget. You may also be interested in How do I track my food with the Fitbit app? 

If you are still stuck please post here again.

Cheers
