Hello you can try to save csv file with below code

import csv
from io import StringIO
from django.core.files.base import ContentFile

new_df = df.to_csv(columns=['A', 'B'], index=False)

csv_buffer = StringIO()
csv_writer = csv.writer(csv_buffer)
csv_writer.writerow(new_df)

csv_file = ContentFile(csv_buffer.getvalue().encode('utf-8'))
doc.csvfile.save('output.csv', csv_file)
