My Media Query does not work. Included Meta tag; link rel link

Beginner coder here. I'm trying to make breakpoints for my website for mobile devices so that my website properly fits in tiny screens. I just wanted to check to see if the background-color would change if I shrunk the width of the viewport, but no changes occur. Maybe I'm just blind to a simple mistake?

body {
	margin: 0;
	background-color: #4f4d4d;
	overflow-x:hidden;
	width: 100%;
	height: auto;
}

ul {
	margin-top: -80px;
	list-style-type: none;
}

li {
	font-size: 25px;
    float: right;
    font-weight: bold;
}

li a {
	display: block;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-align: center;
	font-family: sans-serif;
	color: white;
	border-left: 1px solid white;
	padding: 23px;
}

li a:visited {
	text-decoration: none;
	color: white;
	font-family: sans-serif;
}

li a:hover:not(.active) {
	background-color: #333;
}

it works as expected here. Did you put you media queries BELOW all the other CSS rules? If not, they can be overridden by the subsequent rules.

ADDITION/EDIT (moved up from the comments): In the HTML, take out media="mediatype and|not|only (media feature)" from the reference to the second stylesheet.

See this fiddle

Brackets are missing, it's more like this : 

@media only screen and (max-width: 1024px) {
    body {
      margin: 0;
      background-color: white;
      overflow-x:hidden;
      width: 100%;
      height: auto;
    }
}


@media only screen and (max-width: 767px) {
    body {
      margin: 0;
      background-color: red;
      overflow-x:hidden;
      width: 100%;
      height: auto;
    }
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
    body {
      margin: 0;
      background-color: blue;
      overflow-x:hidden;
      width: 100%;
      height: auto;
    }
}
