Django - User not getting logged in

I am using JWT authentication for my django-rest-framework and react project. So, I have defined a URL path that provides the JWT token.

path('api/auth/token/', obtain_jwt_token),

I have defined another path which retrieves the current logged-in user:

path('current_user/', current_user, name='current-user'),

current_user:

@api_view(['GET'])
def current_user(request):
    if not request.user.is_authenticated:
        return Response('User is not authenticated') 
    profile = Profile.objects.get(user=request.user) 
    serializer = CurrentProfileSerializer(profile)
    return Response(serializer.data)

The problem is, after I log in at api/auth/token/ and then go to current_user/, I am getting 'User is not authenticated' response. I thought that obtain_jwt_token returns a token and logs in the user to request.user. Am I wrong for assuming this? Please ask if I need to provide any more details.

settings.py

REST_FRAMEWORK = {
    'DEFAULT_PERMISSION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework.permissions.IsAuthenticatedOrReadOnly',
    ),
    'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': (
        'rest_framework_jwt.authentication.JSONWebTokenAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.SessionAuthentication',
        'rest_framework.authentication.BasicAuthentication',
    ),
}

when you receive token in api/auth/token reuqest, you should store it in frontend. then in currect_user request, use this stored token in header of request. like this:

Authorization: JWT eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyLCJ1c2VybmFtZSI6ImFsaUBtYWlsLmNvbSIsImV4cCI6MTUzMzcxNjUzNCwiZW1haWwiOiJhbGlAbWFpbC5jb20ifQWfVfp6Nfj9gvedTkqhqlwZhAwzi2YK64cx2FpRLms
