405 Method Not Allowed wehn doing HTTP POST to ASp .Net Core 2.2 Web API

I'm creating an ASP .Net Core 2.2 Web API, and am implementing a controller action which will be invoked via a POST. However, when I run it in Debug mode in Visual Studio 2017, and I call the endpoint using Postman, I get a 405 Method Not Allowed

I specified that I am doing this in debug mode in VS because I've seen a couple of posts online where people are getting this issue when deploying, and having to remove WebDAV from IIS or adding this:

<system.webServer>
  <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="false">
    <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
  </modules>
</system.webServer>

to their config.web

However, seeing as I am running from VS, it is using IIS Express, and there is no web.config file.

I haven't yet tried to publish the API, as it's not even working locally on my machine, so it feels wrong to publish something that's broken.

EDIT:

So my controller looks like this:

public class TestController : ControllerBase
{

    public TestController()
    {
    }

    [HttpPost]
    private void Post()
    {
        Console.Write("TEST");
    }
}

As mentioned by the keen-eyed noobed, my problem was that my controller action was private and not public. Thanks again noobed.
