You got off on the wrong foot by conceptualizing this as a classification problem. The fact that $Y$ is binary has nothing to do with trying to make classifications. And when the balance of $Y$ is far from 1:1 you need to think about modeling tendencies for $Y$, not modeling $Y$. In other words, the appropriate task is to estimate $P(Y=1 | X)$ using a model such as the binary logistic regression model. The logistic model is a direct probability estimator. Details may be found here and here.
Once you have a validated probability model and a utility/cost/loss function you can generate optimum decisions. The probabilities help to trade off the consequences of wrong decisions.

Thanks Sir Frank Harrell, The dataset is in floating point values but the target is in binary form as you said 'Y'. i applied Linear Regression, Random Forests,Decision Tree and some ensemble methods but the Linear regression gave an AUC score of 78.2% whereas random forests and LightGBM performed better. Now i want to increase the AUC score. Here is the list of parameters i used for lgb:

Is the binary target a derivation from a floating point continuous outcome variable? If so you will need to go back to that variable and not use an information-losing dichotomization.
