Confused about Ratings: Chess.com vs. ELO vs. FIDE

Can someone clarify what the number in parentheses after my nickname means? Is this my ELO, my FIDE rating, or just a Chess.com score? If it’s the latter, how could I calculate the other 2?

In order to have a FIDE rating, you need to play in FIDE rated OTB tournaments. Chess.com and FIDE are 2 separate entities that are unrelated to each other. On your game history, the number in parenthesis is your chess.com rating (or ELO) for the specific time control or variant that you play.
