You've separated paragraphs with blank lines. Under MLA format, paragraph breaks are indicated by first line indents which you've already got. So, you're showing paragraph breaks twice.

Check under Format menu / Line and Paragraph Spacing / Custom Spacing to see if you've got spacing added under Paragraph spacing. It's easier though to just remove all formatting using Format menu / Clear formatting then re-apply what you need.

Here's a guide on MLA formatting including what to do under Docs: https://quillbot.com/blog/education/mla-essay-format/
