Html – Why is my website resizing different on computer and mobile?

I have been working on a website for a school project, and added code for my tables to change size. As I was coding, I often resized my browser widnow to check the sizing on mobile. It looked great! When I actually opend the site on mobile, it was sized completelley differently. I have had problems with this code for a while. The sizing was not very responsive and margins were not working well.
Here is the code (CSS):


.move{
}

 .table3 {
    position: absolute;
        left: 50%;
     transform: translate(-50%, -90%);
        border-collapse: collapse;
        width: 700px;
        height: 200px;
        border: 1px solid #bdc3c7;
        box-shadow: 2px 2px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), -1px -1px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    }
    
    .tr {
        transition: all .2s ease-in;
        cursor: pointer;
    }
    
    .th,
    .td {
        padding: 12px;
        text-align: left;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
    }
    
    #top {
        background-color: rgb(98,98,98);
        color: rgb(255,255,98);
    }
    
    .h1 {
        font-weight: 900;
      font-size: calc(1.725rem + 2.3vw);
        text-decoration: underline;
        text-align: center;
        color: rgb(224,194,58);
        padding: 10px;
      margin-bottom: 250px;
      margin-top: 110px;
    }
      .h2 {
        font-weight: 900;
      font-size: calc(1.725rem + 2.3vw);
        text-decoration: underline;
        text-align: center;
        color: rgb(224,194,58);
        padding: 10px;
      margin-bottom: 200px;
      margin-top: 110px;
    }
    .tr:hover {
        background-color: #f5f5f5;
        transform: scale(1.02);
        box-shadow: 2px 2px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), -1px -1px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
    }
    
    @media only screen and (max-width: 768px) {
        .table3 {
            width: 90%;
           transform: translate(-50%, -70%);
        }
      .h1{
        margin-bottom: 370px;
      }
       .h2{
        margin-bottom: 240px;
      }
    }

    @media only screen and (max-width: 468px) {
        .table3 {
            width: 90%;
           transform: translate(-50%, -90%);
        }
      .h1{
        margin-bottom: 370px;
      }
       .h2{
        margin-bottom: 240px;
      }
    }

Here is my HTML:

<div class="move">  <h1 class="h1">Cost Overview</h1>

    <table class="table3">
        <tr class="tr" id="top">
           <th class="th">Step</th>
            <th class="th">Service</th>
            <th class="th">Provider</th>
            <th class="th">Average Cost</th>
        </tr>
        <tr class="tr">
            <td class="td">1 </td>
            <td class="td">Drivers Education Course </td>
            <td class="td">Varies </td>
            <td class="td">$25 - $60 </td>

        </tr>
        <tr class="tr">
            <td class="td">2 </td>
            <td class="td">Permit Exam </td>
            <td class="td">California DMV </td>
            <td class="td">$37 </td>

        </tr>
        <tr class="tr">
            <td class="td">3 </td>
            <td class="td">Behind The Wheel Class </td>
            <td class="td">Varies </td>
            <td class="td">$350 - $650 </td>

        </tr>
        <tr class="tr">
            <td class="td">4 </td>
            <td class="td">Practice Driving </td>
            <td class="td">Lisenced Driver 25+ Years Old</td>
            <td class="td">$0 </td>

        </tr>
        <tr class="tr">
            <td class="td">5 </td>
            <td class="td">Behind The Wheel Exam </td>
            <td class="td">California DMV </td>
            <td class="td">$0 - $7 </td>

        </tr>

    </table>
  </div>

I am open to anything, is there a way to make the table automatically have a margin of 20px between the sides and writing?

    the reason is the use of margin. You should use height property instead of margin. You can use DisplayFlex for layout and any amount of padding. For example:

    .h1{
  height: 400px;
  padding-top: 250px;
  font-weight: 900;
  font-size: calc(1.725rem + 2.3vw);
  text-decoration: underline;
  text-align: center;
  color: rgb(224, 194, 58);
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 768px){
  .h1 {
    height: 300px;
    padding-top: 150px;
  }
}
    <h1 class="h1">Cost Overview</h1>

    This is the easiest way to solve your problem. I suggest you to definitely study display flex and grid.

    You can use this edited CSS code to solve your problem. I removed .h2 as it’s not used in the HTML.

    
            .move {
                position: absolute;
                left: 50%;
                top: 80%;
                transform: translate(-50%, -90%);
            }

            .table3 {

                border-collapse: collapse;
                width: 100%;
                height: 200px;
                border: 1px solid #bdc3c7;
                box-shadow: 2px 2px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), -1px -1px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
            }

            .tr {
                transition: all .2s ease-in;
                cursor: pointer;
            }

            .th,
            .td {
                padding: 12px;
                text-align: left;
                border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
            }

            #top {
                background-color: rgb(98, 98, 98);
                color: rgb(255, 255, 98);
            }

            .h1 {
                margin-top: 20px;
                font-weight: 900;
                font-size: calc(1.725rem + 2.3vw);
                text-decoration: underline;
                text-align: center;
                color: rgb(224, 194, 58);
                padding: 10px;

            }
            .tr:hover {
                background-color: #f5f5f5;
                transform: scale(1.02);
                box-shadow: 2px 2px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), -1px -1px 8px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
            }

    In this code, the main container (.move) position has been changed to absolute and centered using left: 50%;. You can adjust top: 80%; to your preference. Additionally, for better responsiveness across various screen sizes:

    Utilize F12 for checking mobile sizes instead of manually resizing the window.
    Consider using Bootstrap or other CSS libraries for center-aligning content and improving the appearance of tables, etc.
