localhost not resolving to 127.0.0.1

My localhost is not resolving to 127.0.01, preventing me from opening files on localhost from my browser unless I manually enter 127.0.0.1. How can I get it to resolve correctly without hardwiring localhost (it should still adjust and update itself as necessary after this).

Context: conda base env, version 4.13.0, MacOS Monterey

Please see below for details, any help would be really appreciated!
