You can specify the fields that you want to show in the fieldset in the admin class. You can refer to docs here

Generic syntax for fieldset (from the docs)

class FlatPageAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    fieldsets = (
    (None, {
        'fields': ('url', 'title', 'content', 'sites')
    }),
    ('Advanced options', {
        'classes': ('collapse',),
        'fields': ('registration_required', 'template_name'),
    }),
)

The code in your case would be -:

class ProductAdmin(TimestampedModelAdminMixin:
    fieldsets = (
    (None, {
        'fields': ('id', 'active')
    })
    
    )
