Unable to connect to Amazon RDS Postgres Database from my Django Web Application

I am trying to deploy a website using elastic beanstalk and connect it up to a Postgres Database. When trying to makemigrations in django I am getting an error.

I have been able to successfully set up a local Postgres database. I have been trying for a while with no luck.

This is the Error Log

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

This is the databases section of my project .settings.py file:

from .base import *    
DEBUG = config('DEBUG', cast=bool)
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['localhost', '127.0.0.1','http://cliquefit-dev.ap-southeast-2.elasticbeanstalk.com','*******']


AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [
    {'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.UserAttributeSimilarityValidator'},
    {'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.MinimumLengthValidator'},
    {'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.CommonPasswordValidator'},
    {'NAME': 'django.contrib.auth.password_validation.NumericPasswordValidator'}
]



DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'cliquefit',
        'USER': '******',
        'PASSWORD': '*********',
        'HOST': 'cliquefit.*********.ap-southeast-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
        'PORT': '5432'
    }
}

I have tried fixing up my Database credentials and creating a new database instance on Amazon RDS but unfortunately no luck.

Thanks for your help in advance!

EDIT: For more information i've added the error log from when I try to deploy this code to elastic beanstalk

And Now included a screenshot of the security group: [1]: https://i.stack.imgur.com/4LEfH.jpg

Based on the comments and additional info.

The inbound rule for 5432 port is set to security group sg-597. This allows for inbound traffic only from other instances that have the same sg, not from the internet.

To enable access to the rds from the internet have to use either 0.0.0.0/0 as the source (i.e. all source locations), or which is better, specific IP range or address (e.g. 1.2.3.4/32). The range can be the range of your work or home public network, and IP can be the specific address of your workstation.
