Form not posting data to database in django

Question

I have a django model form to register a new user into Users table in Django. I have selected fields which I want to use. The form is showing correctly on the html page but the problem is when I submit the form, the data is not saved in the database. I tried to get the field values using name = request.POST['field'] and use print(name) all the data is being printed on the console. Below is my code

forms.py

class UserForm(UserCreationForm):
    first_name = forms.CharField(required=False, label='First Name',
                                 widget=forms.TextInput(
                                     attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))
    last_name = forms.CharField(required=False, label='Last Name',
                                widget=forms.TextInput(
                                    attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))
    email = forms.EmailField(required=False, label='Email Address',
                             widget=forms.TextInput(
                                 attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))
    username = forms.EmailField(required=False, label='Username',
                                widget=forms.TextInput(
                                    attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))
    password = forms.EmailField(required=False, label='Password',
                                 widget=forms.PasswordInput(
                                     attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))
    password1 = forms.EmailField(required=False, label='Confirm password',
                                 widget=forms.PasswordInput(
                                     attrs={'style': 'font-size:medium', 'class': 'form-control form-control-sm'}))

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'email', 'username', 'password','password1')

My UserForm(): class is implementing UserCreationForm in the forms.py class UserForm(UserCreationForm): .

views.py

def reg(request):
   
    if request.method=='POST':
        
        form= UserForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            user = form.save()
            group = Group.objects.get(name="patient")
            user.groups.add(group)
            return redirect('profile')
        
    else:
        
        form=UserForm()
    head = 'Create user account'
       
    title = 'Consultation | create account'
    context={'form':form, 'head':head, 'title':title}
    return render(request, 'registration.html', context)

template Registration.html

I think the problem is where you save in the views.py. Try this:

user = form.save(commit=False)         
group = Group.objects.get(name="patient")                                                                                                                    
user.groups.add(group)
user.save()         
return redirect('profile')
