Cut out circular sections from images: step-by-step guide

Question

I'm trying to clip an image using SVG paths, but my image doesn't seem to fit.

This is what I want to achieve:

This is what I got:

This is the code I tried:

.topbar-chat-img {
  width: 48px;
  height: 48px;
  object-fit: cover;
  clip-path: url(#topbar-img-svg);
}

<img src="https://picsum.photos/200/200?image=1069" class="topbar-chat-img" />

<svg>
                    <defs>
                        <clipPath id="topbar-img-svg">
                            <path class="svg-cls" d="M33,66A33.009,33.009,0,0,1,20.155,2.593,32.99,32.99,0,0,1,66,33a32.691,32.691,0,0,1-3.271,14.341,11.008,11.008,0,0,0-13.148,14.2A32.978,32.978,0,0,1,33,66Z"/>
                        </clipPath>
                    </defs>
                </svg>

I also tried changing the size of vievBox and svg but I can't fit the image.

Here's another easier way to use SVG:

body {
  background:pink;
}

<svg width="200" height="200">
  <defs>
    <mask id="hole">
      <circle r="100" cx="100" cy="100" fill="white"/>
      <circle r="50" cx="180" cy="180" fill="black"/>
    </mask>
  <pattern id="img" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="200" height="200">
    <image  xlink:href="https://picsum.photos/200/200?image=1069" x="0" y="0" width="200" height="200" />
  </pattern>
  </defs>
  <!-- create a rect, fill it with the image and apply the above mask -->
  <rect fill="url(#img)" width="100%" height="100%" mask="url(#hole)" />
</svg>
