Like this one. My camera focus keep on going back to center. How can I make it so that the focus automatically follows the object and not always in the center? Or is it supposed to be like that because I choose manual mode? I don't really understand.

I don’t think this is possible. Usually you I focus manually on subject using these dots. I would suggest to check your setting and set a bigger cover when focusing on subject.

It meant to be manually lovitazoe . Check your settings, put camera on Manual mode and go on settings and check focus.

which camera model is that?

anyway, no matter the model (more or less) the camera first needs to know which is the object you want it to follow.

let's say your camera supports face detection and there are 3 faces on the frame at different distances from you, the camera can identify the faces and show squares around them and maybe select one as the "main subject" and focus on that one, but it can be the one you want in focus or not. cameras are "smart" to some extent, but you still have to tell them what you want them to do.

if its in manual mode, i prefer the focus to be manual, i mean i choose where to focus by changing dots. On my 7d m2 i did set them well, so i can move them every part of screen i want. In my m50, this seems to be automatic, which not always works how i want.

you should also be able to select the focus point on the M50.
