After 3 days ,finally I figured out the issue. You have to do the below steps to make it work :

1. Go to the geoserver directory inside apatche/webapps
2. Open the web.xml file inside web-inf for editing
3. Uncomment the below tag and edit the value to you tomcat main url as below :

    <context-param>
      <param-name>PROXY_BASE_URL</param-name>
      <param-value>https://XXXXX.XXXXXXXXXX.XXXX/geoserver</param-value>
      </context-param>

4. Save the file and everything works.
