My python blackjack game is not working as intended

The problems are:

1. Upon typing n to stand and winning, it doesnt ask the user again if they want to play a game of blackjack.
2. And upon winning it also does not ask the user if it wants to play, straight up just starts the game once again.

Please help me solve this, I lost all hope while debugging... p.s. #clear and #art are placeholders

import random

active_game = True  # - Active flag

def restart_game():
    # clear()
    # print(logo)

    cards = [11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]
    cards_player = [random.choice(cards), random.choice(cards)]
    cards_dealer = [random.choice(cards), random.choice(cards)]


    def total(cards_entity):  # count someone's cards
        return sum(cards_entity)


    print(f"  Your cards: {cards_player}, current score: {total(cards_player)}")
    print(f"  Dealer's first card: {cards_dealer[0]}")

    def final_score():
        print(f"    Your final hand: {cards_player}, final score: {total(cards_player)}")
        print(f"    Dealer's final hand: {cards_dealer}, final score: {total(cards_dealer)}")

    def winner(): #-checks result of move
        if total(cards_player) == 21:       # player got 21
            if total(cards_dealer) == 21:
                print("You both scored a blackjack. It's a draw! 🤷‍♂️")
                final_score()
                restart_game()
            else:
                print("You scored a blackjack. You won! 🤑")
                final_score()
                restart_game()

        if total(cards_player) > 21:           # player went over 21
            if 11 in cards_player:
                i = cards_player.index(11)
                cards_player[i] = 1
            else:
                print("You went over. You lost! 😤")
                final_score()
                restart_game()

        if total(cards_player) < 21:        # player got less than 21
            if total(cards_dealer) > 21:
                print("The opponent went over. You won! 🤑")
                final_score()
                restart_game()
            if total(cards_dealer) == 21:
                print("The opponent got 21! You lost! 😤")
                final_score()
                restart_game()

    def move():
        if input("Type 'y' to get another card, type 'n' to pass: ") == "y":
            cards_player.append(random.choice(cards))
            cards_dealer.append(random.choice(cards))
            print(f"Your cards: {cards_player}, current score: {total(cards_player)}")
            print(f"Dealer's first card: {cards_dealer[0]}")
            winner()
        else:
            cards_dealer.append(random.choice(cards))
            winner()
    move()

while input("Would you like to play a game of Black Jack? Type 'y' or 'n': ") == "y":
    restart_game()
print("I'm out!")

Just replace the restart_game() statement from each branch of winner function with return.

In this way, after each game you would return to the while loop, where you called the restart_game() function.

Final Code:

import random

def restart_game():
    # clear()
    # print(logo)

    cards = [11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10]
    cards_player = [random.choice(cards), random.choice(cards)]
    cards_dealer = [random.choice(cards), random.choice(cards)]


    def total(cards_entity):  # count someone's cards
        return sum(cards_entity)


    print(f"  Your cards: {cards_player}, current score: {total(cards_player)}")
    print(f"  Dealer's first card: {cards_dealer[0]}")

    def final_score():
        print(f"    Your final hand: {cards_player}, final score: {total(cards_player)}")
        print(f"    Dealer's final hand: {cards_dealer}, final score: {total(cards_dealer)}")

    def winner(): #-checks result of move
        if total(cards_player) == 21:       # player got 21
