@VipinMishra did you build yourself or just use my existing script. If you build yourself remember modify umd to var as my description. Or you can download my existing forge.js and try again

I was having the same issue. Here's my solution:

1. clone the forge repo https://github.com/digitalbazaar/forge.git
2. add the package global to the cloned forge project npm i global --save-dev
3. update the webpack.config.js, replacing 'umd' with 'var' as @loveiset has done and update the plugins to add global/window:

  const bundle = Object.assign({}, common, {
    mode: 'development',
    output: {
      path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
      filename: info.filenameBase + '.js',
      library: info.library || '[name]',
      libraryTarget: info.libraryTarget || 'var'
    },
    plugins: [
      new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        window: 'global/window',
      }),
    ]
  });
  if (info.library === null) {
    delete bundle.output.library;
  }
  if (info.libraryTarget === null) {
    delete bundle.output.libraryTarget;
  }

  // optimized and minified bundle
  const minify = Object.assign({}, common, {
    mode: 'production',
    output: {
      path: path.join(__dirname, 'dist'),
      filename: info.filenameBase + '.min.js',
      library: info.library || '[name]',
      libraryTarget: info.libraryTarget || 'var'
    },
    devtool: 'cheap-module-source-map',
    plugins: [
      new webpack.ProvidePlugin({
        window: 'global/window',
      }),
    ]
  });

4. build the project npm run build. copy dist/forge.js to Postman

Hope that helps!
