How to resolve the issue if Spring Boot Application returns string value instead of JSP page

This is my pom.xml file

pom.xml enter image description here

Application.properties File


#spring.thymeleaf.enabled=true

#spring.thymeleaf.prefix=/templates/
#spring.thymeleaf.suffix=.jsp

spring.mvc.view.prefix=/templates/
spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp

Home.jsp

<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
    pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Login Page</title>
</head>
<body>
   <h1>Registration</h1>
</body>
</html>

Controller

@RestController
public class LoginController {

    
    @GetMapping(path="/home")
    public String loginPage() {
        System.out.println("hello");
        return "home";
    }
}

Application File

@SpringBootApplication

public class SpringJspDemoApplication {

public static void main(String[] args)

{ SpringApplication.run(SpringJspDemoApplication.class, args); }

}

Output:

Tried using Thymeleaf, tried to change @RestController-> @Controller, used @ComponentScan etc but issue not getting resolved.

Tried going through the solutions given on site but none of them are working for me, also they are quite older.

Project Structure :
