    where?
    on the front page?

    your posted mag.php template is only for showing the content; there must be another template with the actual loop …

    to start with the number, check your setting under:
    dashboard – settings – reading – blog pages show …

    Yes on front page.

    Thank you for that dashboard – settings – reading – blog pages show …
    I would never guessed.

    to restrict the posts on the front page (posts page), try adding some code to functions.php;

    this will use the category slug and will also show posts of a sub category of that chosen category:

    function swift_basic_restrict_category_posts_page( $query ) {
   if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category_name', 'your-cat-slug' );
    }

}
add_action('pre_get_posts','swift_basic_restrict_category_posts_page');

    alternatively, this will use the category ID and will only show posts directly in that chosen category:

    function swift_basic_restrict_category_posts_page( $query ) {
   if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'category__in', array(123) );
    }

}
add_action('pre_get_posts','swift_basic_restrict_category_posts_page');
