I am working on a project to port my previous app (Android based) to .Net (8.0) MAUI. So, I have ported some code very easily, however, I am facing an issue where I am not able to find any help on the internet.

As you can see in the below picture that there is some white space between the Views (Image and the Label) and at the top of the Image and at the bottom of the Label as well.

I have tried everything with the views as you can see in the code but I am not able to remove the extra whitespace. I have set the Margin and Padding properties to 0 in the DataTemplate as well but still nothing changed. Moreover, I am not able to find anything on the internet which can tell me why this is happening or it is the default behaviour.

Can someone please guide me in the right direction so that I can adjust the space as needed? Thank you in advance.
