The first is correct.
In the first, "what I think you are doing" is a noun phrase operating as the object of "doing"
i.e. "Are you doing [something]?"
"Thinking" in the second, could be a gerund if the sentence were taken to mean:
"Are you doing the thing that I am thinking about?"
But, in that case the verb would be "am" and there would be n
