My Fitbit Charge 4 is not showing accurate calorie count.  It shows way more calories based on my activities.  Anybody knows how to fix this problem?

There is no "fix calorie count" button.  We would need more information, such as some examples with numbers to try to understand your situation.

 

But, perhaps you are not taking into account that Fitbit includes BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) calorie burn.  These are the calories you are always burning just to stay alive, and often account for more than half of daily calorie burn.

 

From How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?

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