Yes, if you are using Tor and visiting a clearnet site like whatismyipaddress.com, it will see your IP address as an exit node. What is the problem?

If you want to hide the fact that you are using Tor, you can point Tor Browser at a web proxy, like the ones on this list:

Bridges are your first hop. Exit nodes are your last hop.
