How to fix this problem?

Your model has:

    user_name = models.CharField(max_length=150, unique=True,blank=True)

unique=True means “define a unique constraint for this field”: Model field reference | Django documentation | Django

If you are getting a Unique constraint failed error, I would suggest you open up a new topic for this discussion, along with providing all the relevent details.

user = self.model(
email = self.normalize_email(email),
username = username,
)

    user.set_password(password)
    user.save(using =self._db)
    return user
