best guess.

You have gone to some web site advertising transparent images, and taken a
screenshot. Not the way to do it.

Maybe like this:  https://i.imgur.com/e3L2b4h.jpg

The checker pattern in Gimp only indicates transparency. What you have is
picture of a checker pattern. Go back and see if you can download the image
again as a .png file which supports transparency.  If that is not possible then
you might get a reasonable result using Gimp foreground extract see:
https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-separate.html

That will separate the checker background of your image to allow a layer
underneath to show:  https://i.imgur.com/boaIzgZ.jpg
