Convert UTC date format to what's needed

Getting Help
1

Need to convert the UTC time zones I stored in my database. Something like this -
2020-02-21 10:29:42.812149 +0000 UTC
and what I expect to get us -
Fri, 21 Feb 2020 13:29:42 +03
Ive got a function that returns the converted version of my Date -

var location, _ = time.LoadLocation("Europe/Minsk")

func convertToResponse(books Book) BookResponse {

	return BookResponse{
		ID:     books.ID,
		Name:   books.Name,
		Author: books.Author,
		Date:   books.Date.In(location).Format(time.RFC1123),
	}
}

I made an endpoint that selects from the database, but when I run it, the date format is this -

  {
        "id": 19,
        "name": "book19",
        "author": "QWERT",
        "date": "Sat, 01 Jan 0000 12:17:16 LMT"
    }

It didn’t get formatted. and im not sure what’s wrong.
Heres the link to the full code, if you’ll need it -

What exactly is the value of books.Date? Ofbooks.Date.In(location)?

3

The value of books.Date is -
0000-01-01 10:27:00.138572 +0000 UTC
Its just the date in UTC time zone. In a raw format

The value of books.Date.In(location) should be the converted format of the UTC time zone to the desired location I want

4

im inserting time.Now().UTC() into the date field in my database, and ‘should’ get a response in this format books.Date.In(location).Format(time.RFC1123)

Does it show the proper UTC if you take the call to In out?
