Code goes like this:

public async Task<AppUser> CreateUser(AppUser user, RegisterUserDto dto)
        {
            try
            {
                var result = await _userManager.CreateAsync(user, dto.Password);
                if (result.Succeeded)
                {
                    await _userManager.AddToRoleAsync(user, "Member");
                    await _context.SaveChangesAsync();
                    return user;
                }
                return null;
                
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                _logger.LogError("Error at AuthRepository at CreateUser, ex:" + ex.StackTrace, false);
            }
            return null;
        }

[HttpPost]
  [Route("createuser")]
  public async Task<IActionResult> CreateUserAcc([FromBody] RegisterUserDto userDto)
  {
      try
      {
          var identity = _mapper.Map<AppUser>(userDto);
          var result= await _repository.CreateUser(identity, userDto);
          if (result!=null)
              return Ok(result);
          else
              return BadRequest("Account alredy exists.");
      }
      catch (Exception)
      {

      }
      return BadRequest();
  }

Summary:
I'm trying to create user via CreateUser method, passing to it RegisterUserDto, and then in the POST request response body to return created user object.
Action executes and user is created in DB, but Postman returns this: Image

What I have tried:

I've made sure that Postman's SSL certificate verification is turned OFF.

What in the RegisterUserDto class?

public class RegisterUserDto
{
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
}
It looks like this.

try return Ok(JObject.Parse(result));

Why would we know why postman can't connect to a service running on your machine? We can't access it to diagnose what is running and what isn't. I'll start with the basics though....is your web service actually running and listening on that port? It looks like you're using Visual Studio's built-in web server and that only runs when your project is running so much sure you've started it in debug mode first. If that's the issue then change it to use IIS on your local machine as debugging APIs etc is easier that way as IIS is always running.

Well, I've asked the question in hope that someone encountered similar problem, or to get a piece of advice. Thanks nevertheless.

I did give you advice, it could be 1,000,000 things and I told you what it was most likely to be. If it isn't that you need to update the question so we all know and can suggest other things you might want to look at. Personally if something can't connect to something on my machine the very first thing you have to do is establish that something is indeed listening to that port.

Configuring this in serializer options solved the problem.

services.AddMvc(options=>....).AddJsonOptions(opt=> opt.SerializerSettings.ReferenceLoopHandling=Newtonsoft.Json.ReferenceLoopHandling.Ignore);
