Try looking at the Gimp documents

https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tools-paint.html#gimp-tool-brush

Videos, not recommending this one, the black gimp theme makes it difficult to
follow, but it is slow and contains much information.

Ending up with an oval brush. You should check the paint tool options and in
particular the aspect ratio.

Usually it is click and drag to change the value but the mouse scroll wheel also
acts when hovering over the slider. Maybe you failed to notice.

The little circular icons reset each value to the default. Restarting Gimp will
have reset these values but that is the hard way of doing things.
