I basically exported an image after editing and found that it does not match the one I see while editing.
This is the image while editing:
This is the preview in the export window:
And the exported image:
The exported image is much brighter. How do I fix this?
Is the person on a different layer? And does that / those layers have some smart filter / effect associated with it? Perhaps it needs flattening / merging BEFORE you try to export? Sometimes going from the main screen to exporting does strange things on flattening / export?
Use File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy)
As for why Export As is giving you this problem, that's something only Adobe can really answer. It looks like a bug to me. Perhaps report it to Adobe.
Note that Save for Web is the older (legacy) way of exporting. Export As is a more recent innovation.
In recent years it has unfortunately become somewhat typical of Adobe to try to make something new to replace an older function that already works just fine, and then mess up the implementation in some way.
