You'll want to check your 'shiftwidth', 'softtabstop', and
'expandtab' settings.

Most folks recommend leaving 'tabstop' to the default of 8, while
setting shiftwidth & softtabstop to the same value for the
indentation you want (4). Either set expandtab if you prefer spaces,
or set noexpandtab if you want literal tabs when you hit <tab>
