BibTex Confusion

Question

I'm working on my master's thesis and one of the comments I received was that the bibliography I currently have is not is standard format and that I should use BibTex instead. The commands I have for adding the bibliography are
bibliographystyle{abbrv}
bibliography{biblio}
and biblio.bib contains the cited articles and related books. I've looked in a few forums but I'm really confused about this "using BibTex instead" thing, what does it mean?
Thanks in advance

Please have a look at the following
documentclass[12pt]{article}
    usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
begin{document}
begin{filecontents*}{jobname.bib}
@ARTICLE{Important,
  author       = "Doe, J.",
  title        = "Gnus and Gnats",
  journal      = "Gnus of the world",
  year         = "2020",
  volume       = "2456",
  number       = "1",
  pages        = "123--2567",
}
end{filecontents*}
cite{Important}
bibliographystyle{abbrv}
bibliography{jobname}
end{document}

Is your bib file like the one above. If yes, you know how to proceed with the abbrv style.
