  • zoom and orbit are 2 different things, to orbit around the selected object, open the Preferences and Navigation > Orbit Around Selection – moonboots Oct 29 '20 at 12:59

    Welcome to BSE @alenka , in Blender go to Edit > Preferences > Navigation, check Zoom to mouse position – Georges D Oct 29 '20 at 13:02
  • Are you using Blender 2.9? – Georges D Oct 29 '20 at 13:04

    Make sure you didn't enable "Lock to cursor" in the viewport > N panel > View tab > View > Lock rollout, in that case zooming and orbiting will happen around the point where 3d cursor is – Mr Zak Oct 29 '20 at 13:29

In Blender 2.9, go to Edit > Preferences > Navigation, then check "Zoom to mouse position" for the zoom, and check "Orbit Around Selection" for orbiting.
