sequalize keeps connecting to localhost

[airlanggarasyad]

I'm trying to connect to my database using sequelize, but it keeps getting an error that I don't have permission to root@localhost. the problem is I've set the req.body.host into my database IP address. Here's my code

 const connection = new Sequelize(
    req.body.dbname,
    req.body.user,
    req.body.password,
    {
      host: req.body.host,
      dialect: "mysql",
      dialectOptions: {
        useUTC: true,
      },
      timezone: "+07:00",
      pool: {
        max: 5,
        min: 0,
        idle: 10000,
      },
    }
  );

Here's my API request

{
    "host": "172.18.xx.xx",
    "user": "root",
    "password": "mypass",
    "dbname": "mydb",
    "table": "mytable"
}

and here's the response

{
    "response_status": false,
    "message": "Access denied for user 'root'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: YES)",
}

I also tried adding http:// and mysql:// in front of my host IP and it getting a new error

{
    "response_status": false,
    "message": "connect ETIMEDOUT"
}

where do i go wrong?

the error actually a credential related error.
