How are you doing vs how were you doing

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'How are you doing?' is used to ask about someone's current well-being, while 'How were you doing?' is used to ask about someone's well-being in the past. Therefore, the choice between the two depends on whether you are asking about the present or the past.
