Are you the only device on that Internet connection?
And there is overhead, so you shouldn't expect to use 100% of upload bandwidth (I'll save you details of TCP, ACK packets, etc), and liek car driving, traffic can hit along the route, so you need buffer for that as well

However, more likely, you've set your stream settings to use a certain resolution, framerate and bitrate, and you are using that. 4000kbps bitrate for a 720p/30fps stream is plenty... you wouldn't use more.. so most likely, OBS is using that much bandwidth because that is what you configured it to use
