Hello,
Since it's an Static IP address in your AWS account, you can reattach the IP to the LightSail instance and make sure you add A record in Route 53 hosted zone.
A static IP is a fixed, public IP address that you can assign and reassign to an instance or other resource. If you haven't set up a static IP address, each time you stop or restart your instance, Lightsail assigns a new public IP address.

Thank you for your continuous support and advice. I've followed all the advice and read all the documentation, but I still can't connect to my Lightsail instance from outside. I'm at a loss and would appreciate any further help from the AWS community.
Here's what I did: I made a new Static IP in the Lightsail console, attached it to my Lightsail instance, made an A record pointing from the root domain to the IP in Route 53. Also made a CNAME record pointing www. to the root domain. I also stopped and rebooted the Lightsail instance. Even after all these troubleshooting, I still can't connect to my Lightsail instance from outside AWS.
I finally fixed it, retried everything but only from the Lightsail console. Than you!

I actually not only detached the IP Address, I also deleted it from my account.
You can create a new one and attach it again. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/lightsail-create-static-ip.html
Once you've attached to the Light Sail instance. You can add a A record in Route53 https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/amazon-lightsail-using-route-53-to-point-a-domain-to-an-instance.html
