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_id order by contact_id )
as a WHERE
source='CATALOG' ;
Does this work?
