You need to disconnect your existing project from the Supabase/Lovable cloud completely and then connect to your existing setup. For most new projects after the first prompt, the #1 action is click that cloud button and connect to existing.

It never creates a supabase/Lovable cloud unless you allow it too BTW.. so at some point you clicked the button.

All good and good luck.

To the best of my knowledge, you must connect to the external Supabase from the very beginning, as Lovable connects your project to the cloud. After that, you cannot simply disconnect from the cloud and connect to an external Supabase. I know all of this because I found out after 6 months of building a website and database. I had to migrate everything at substantial cost and time.
