Help! Image keeps changing brightness and quality between viewers and formats

Hello! I am new to GIMP and open source programs as a whole. I am in the process of editing a friends wedding I photographed and am struggling with the export process.

1st Image: The final image in GIMP before exporting. This is the intended final look for the image.

2nd Image: The exported .png viewed in Gwenview

3rd Image: The same file as image 2 uploaded to google drive so I can check what it looks like on my phone.

4th Image: A screenshot of the image in my photo library. This is for demonstration purposes as when I emailed it back to myself for testing it looked like Image 3 again from Google drive.

5th and 6th Images: Info on the image file and my system specs

I need help in understanding what is causing the initial shift in brightness and also why it looks close to the final product on my phone and how to keep everything consistent. I am open to any solutions as I need to put a rush on these photos. This is the only image I have finished so far and do not want to keep the happy couple waiting.

Thank you for reading and hope to hear from y'all soon!
