In a sentence

勉強(べんきょう)studyしてるdoingの?

Are you studying?

How it works

勉強(べんきょう) (study) is a noun turned into a verb with する (do), which here is in the progressive してる (doing) — the casual contraction of している (doing). The final の ((question)) softens a plain question into a curious, caring “are you studying?”, common in casual speech.
