Linking assembly and C not working, undefined reference.

I am using NASM on Windows, and was following a tutorial.

maxofthree.asm:

    global  _maxofthree
    
    section .text
_maxofthree:
    mov     eax, [esp+4]
    mov     ecx, [esp+8]
    mov     edx, [esp+12]
    cmp     eax, ecx
    cmovl   eax, ecx
    cmp     eax, edx
    cmovl   eax, edx
    ret

#include <stdio.h>

int maxofthree(int, int, int);

int main() {
    printf("%d\n", maxofthree(1, -4, -7));
    return 0;
}

Then i type in:

nasm -f win64 maxofthree.asm

And it works, but when I do:

gcc callmaxofthree.c maxofthree.obj -o test.exe

It hits me with the good old undefined reference, like this:

ccsGyLZS.o:callmaxofthree:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `maxofthree'
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

What I have tried:

I don't know what to try I want to start with Assembly program but it's not going very well.
