Node JS Azure function get the response data after post method

I am creating a common Azure function using JavaScript. The function will handle POST calls and POST the values to Another API. The function is working as expected, but i am unable to get the response value after POST method using request in Azure function

    module.exports = async function (context, req) {
    var request = require("request");  
    var options = {
        url: "",
        method: "POST",
        json: true,
        body: req.body,
        headers: {                 
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Accept': 'application/json'
        }
    };
    return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
    var responseData;
    var req = await request.post(options, (err, res, body) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            reject(err);
        } else {
            responseData = body; 
            console.log(responseData); // it works
            resolve(responseData);
        }
    });
});

 
}

The same logic works when executed as separate node application in local machine. How to get the response value and pass to the origin?

The async/await doesn't do anything. Request module does not return a Promise.

It will better if you remove your redundancy code like

    module.exports = function (context, req) {
    var request = require("request");  
    var options = {
        url: "",
        method: "POST",
        json: true,
        body: req.body,
        headers: {                 
            'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            'Accept': 'application/json'
        }
    };
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    var responseData;
    request.post(options, (err, res, body) => {
        if (err) {
            console.log(err);
            reject(err);
        } else {
            responseData =res.body; 
            console.log(responseData); // it works
            resolve(responseData);
        }
    });
});

 
}
