Comment is not adding after click on submit button

Comment is not adding after clicking it on Add comment,

models.py

class Comment(models.Model):
    post_by = models.ForeignKey(Post, on_delete=models.CASCADE,related_name='comments')
    body = models.TextField()

    active = models.BooleanField(default=False)

    class Meta:
        ordering = ['created_at']

    def __str__(self):
        return self.body

forms.py

class CommentForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Comment
        fields = ('body',)

You should specify the action where the form has to submit to, so:

<form method="post" action="{% url 'name-of-detail-view' id=post.pk %}" style="margin-top: 1.3em;">
    {{ comment_form.as_p }}
    {% csrf_token %}
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary  btn-lg">Submit</button>
</form>

where 'name-of-the-detail-view' should be the name of the view where you handle the comment.

Your view also has some anti-patterns. You can improve this with:

from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404

@login_required
def detail_view(request, id):
    data = get_object_or_404(Post, pk=id)
    comments = data.comments.filter(active=True)
    if request.method == 'POST':
        comment_form = CommentForm(data=request.POST)
        if comment_form.is_valid():
            comment_form.instance.post_by = data
            comment_form.instance.commented_by = request.user
            # shouldn't the comment be active by default?
            comment_form.instance.active = True  # ??
            new_comment = comment_form.save()
            return redirect(detail_view, pk=pk)
    else:
        comment_form = CommentForm()
    context = {'data':data,'comments':comments,'comment_form':comment_form}   
    return render(request, 'mains/show_more.html', context )
