Why is this a stalemate?

I moved my second queen to f4 from f6 while their king was at h3. Why was this game called a draw? I clearly won. Any move he makes next I would capture their king.

But you didn’t threaten to take the king

You literally explained what stalemate is,

But you missed the part where you were supposed to threaten the king

Where is the check in that position? There isn't one. Ok so white should make a move? He can't because there isn't a single legal move for him on the board. No check and no legal moves while on the move = stalemate.

Q6f3# instead and you would have won because of checkmate.
