Because you’re serving the website on a non-standard port, you will always need to provide the port in the web browser.
That said, I don’t see anything wrong here. It looks like you’ve got the right ports set, TCP should be correct. You may not get a ping, because ICMP is likely not enabled at the modem. When you ping, you ping the first device that’s exposed to the internet, not an open server.
Just to be sure, when you’re on your phone, you’re using data? If you’re on wi-fi, the modem/router may not be configured to perform NAT reflection, so you won’t be able to access anything via your WAN IP.

Yes, I’m using mobile data. I can even check my public ip and it’s different.
Actually, just to double check I connected to my neighbour’s wifi (with his permission) and I’m still not getting the website. I changed the port through which I’m serving the site to port 80 (per another comment’s recommendation) and still not getting anything.
