I tried running the production version of my react-app on Apache server but I realised it is not using gzip compression. I have no idea how to do it. I tried researching on the web ad found that I need to update the .htaccess file for it but I can't locate it even with hidden files enabled.The same JS file had a size of around 100KB on React's server but it shows up as 400KB on Apache's server.

You should create it by yourself inside of document root and than add directives inside of it. For example: 

SetOutputFilter DEFLATE
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/html text/css text/plain text/xml application/x-javascript application/x-httpd-php
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
BrowserMatch \bMSIE !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.(?:gif|jpe?g|png)$ no-gzip
