Where is my current??

Where is my current??

im a begginer at electrics. and im am having a problem with my circuit

i am tryiing to have my circuits curret at 20mA with a 3v battery in tinkercad simulator
the objective is getting the led in the circuit to have 20mA of current through it

if i do 3/0,02 i should have 150 ohms of resistance to get the correct

but im measuring 6.69mA of current in my multimeter

trying again, i used the voltage that goes through the led ~2V

and doing 2/0,02 = 100ohms of resitance

with this value at my resistor i measure 10mA

what am i missing to get the current at 20mA?
