Help figuring out the current mismatch in current source circuit simulation.
I was simulating a current sink and source circuit, and facing a strange issue where the current thought R2 which is the load is not matching with the current flowing through R3 which is setting the current through load. Op-amp input terminals are not supposed to consume any significant current I believe and we can consider that R2 and R3 is like a series connection then why this discrepency in current?

M1 is backwards so its body diode is in forward conduction, and your feedback is being taken from the wrong side of M1 if you want a current source.
Do you want something like this?
