I believe you misunderstand what the mobile or personal hotspot is on the phone. That allows you to use your cellular data to set the phone up as a hotspot and allow you to connect other devices to use your cellular data. If you are not wishing to use your data on the phone for yourself, setting up a hotspot would only compound your problem.
You can take a look at this support document and see if that explains things for you better. Share your Internet connection with Personal Hotspot - Apple Support

If you don't want to use cellular data, turn off Cellular data option. Turn on WiFi and use that connection instead.
