I am a newbie in web deployment and I have a flask application which is being hosted at 0.0.0.0:5070. Now I want to do the reverse proxy and be able to direct a certain hostname (bound to server IP) to this port. I have tried the Waitress documentation but seems to be of no help. Any guidance in this will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Using uwsgi is recommended. Its full fledged app server which sits behind your web server. – Debendra Mar 06 '19 at 19:22

Basically, what @Debendra mentioned is correct. For production workload, it is recommended to use uwsgi as your application server.
From there, you'll need to use a web server to act as your reverse proxy. Please refer the following documents:
How To Serve Flask Applications with uWSGI and Nginx on Ubuntu 18.04
Read the above to become familiar with the components and submit another question if you want a follow up.
