I think you need a second reference to the profile_master table.
And why are you using "limit 1 offset 0"?
So I'd say

UPDATE  profile_master    SET
title1=a.title1 , fname1=a.fname1 , mname1=a.mname1 ,lname1=a.lname1 , desg1 = a.desg1 FROM

(  SELECT company_id , title as title1 ,fname as fname1 ,mname as mname1
,  lname as lname1 ,company_position as desg1  from public.catalog_key_contacts as b ,profile_master as c  where
b.company_id=c.company_idorder by contact_id )
 

as a WHERE

source='CATALOG' ;

Does this work?
