You better give a name to your macro :  C-x C-k n MY-MACRO
then go to your init file and type   :  M-x insert-kbd-macro RET MY-MACRO RET

This will put under your cursor the definition of a command that
executes the macro. This command can be called interactively the usual
way (M-x MY-MACRO) or put in your script.

I must say that it is not clear what your macro does. I would guess
that you want to keep the text between the two starting = signs and
add a header. But that's not what happens when I run your macro.
Instead it strips everything before the second = sign and add the
header. Also I think the ! insertion is meant to do the replacement
until end of file, but here again that's not what I obtain when I run
the macro.
