I've defined a table named users_table and ran db.create_all() to create the table, but get the error no such table user_table on commit for updating user info.
How I test :
(under /project) python3 manage.py shell
>>> u = User(email='[email protected]', username='foobar', password='player')
>>> db.create_all()
>>> db.session.add(u)
>>> db.session.commit() # with following error message

I just got done setting up a Flask app and I dealt with this kind of problem.
I strongly suspect the problem here is that the instance of db that you are creating in __init__.py is unaware of the contents of models.py, including the User class. The db object in __init__.py is a totally separate object from the db you are creating in models.py. So when you run db.create_all() in __init__.py, it is checking the list of tables that it knows about and isn't finding any. I ran into this exact issue.
What I discovered is that the models (like User) are registered with the particular db object that is listed in the model's class definition (e.g. class User(db.Model):).
So basically my understanding is that the way to fix this is to run db.create_all() using the same instance of db that is being used to define the models. In other words, run db.create_all() from within models.py.
Here's my code so you can see how I have it set up:
app.py:

jinja_options = Flask.jinja_options.copy()
jinja_options.update(dict(
variable_start_string='%%', # Default is '{{', I'm changing this because Vue.js uses '{{' / '}}'
variable_end_string='%%',
))
app = CustomFlask(__name__)
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'hard to guess string'

base_directory = path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
with open(base_directory + "/config/" + config_filename) as config_file:
config = yaml.load(config_file)
db_config = config['database']
