What is ads.txt

Ads.txt stands for Authorized Digital Sellers and is a simple, flexible and secure method for publishers to declare the companies they authorize to sell their digital inventory (such as website ads). AdSense is a program run by Google that allows website owners to show ads on their sites and earn money.

For GoDaddy

Go to Manage DNS Page. That look like the following 

Domain DNS on GoDaddy

You need to delete A-records with these IPs.  This is probably unnecessary Forwarding on GoDaddy.

• 15.197.142.173 
• 3.33.152.147

if you can't remove the A-record on GoDaddy

 Go to Help >> Domain Support >> Contact Us >> Chat Now or directly by chat now pop up

they will help you to remove the IPs. Remove all other A-records than google IPs. If there is no other A- record, add the following to the list 

Add these A-records if they don't exist

 Changes should be visible within 15–60 minutes. Then you can refresh your HTTPS settings: 

1. Go to your https://www.blogger.com dashboard 
2. Open Settings tab → enable "Redirect domain" 
   
3. Scroll down to "HTTPS" → disable "HTTPS availability" and "HTTPS redirect" if it is enabled
4. Wait 5 minutes and refresh the Settings tab 
5. Enable "HTTPS availability". 
   
6. Refresh page after some time, enable "HTTPS redirect" if the status is "Available / OK".
   

It may take some time to update the website. Wait till the website load. After successfully loading the website, try to get ads.txt in 4 different way that I mentioned above. If it works,  It may take a few days for your changes to be reflected and reviewed in AdSense. If your site doesn't make many ad requests or has low traffic, review may take up to a month.
