Is there a way to make a flask waitress website an HTTPS connection?

I have created a simple flask web application. I have managed to deploy it to the internet using waitress and I connected a domain name to it. My only problem is I am struggling to make the website secure (https). I have bought a SSL certificate but I don't know integrate it into the web application.

The link to my website is http://192.168.1.105/ or http://macroperspective.net/ My domain name is "macroperspective.net" My python code is:

from flask import Flask
from waitress import serve

app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/')
def home():
    return "hello world"


if __name__ == "__main__":
    serve(app, host='192.168.1.105', port=80, url_scheme='https')

I have read the documentation of flask waitress and it seems that you can't make the web app secure using waitress. If my research is correct, I need to set up a reverse proxy server using nginx or apache. I don't really know it this is the case or how to set up a reverse proxy server.
