Ah yes - I had forgotten that resize2fs doesn’t support online shrinking. There are ways to work around it but they are risky - see this answer.

@MasudShaik As the filesytem is on the partition, you need to use /dev/xvda1 and not /dev/xvda when calling resize2fs. Can you try that and let us know the results.
