    maybe this is correct 

    function removeSpaces(str){
        str = str.replace(/[n]/g,';')
    let res = str.replace(/[n ;]/g,(e, i)=>{
       switch(e){
         case ';':
           if(!'{:['.includes(str.substr(0, i).slice(-1))){
             return ';'
           }
        default:
          let arr = str.substr(0, i).split(' ')
          let lastArr = arr[arr.length - 1]
          // need space code
          if(['function','var','let','const'].includes(lastArr)){
             return ' '
          }
          return ''
        }
     })
    return res;
}
function main(){
   var a = 'hello'
   console.log(a)
}

let str = main.toString()
console.log(str.replace(/[n ]/g,''))
let res = removeSpaces(str)
console.log(res) // function main(){var a='hello';console.log(a);}

    Based on your requirements, I think this regex can do the job:

    /(?:(?<![{}])[n]|([{};])(n)|bsB|Bsb|BsB)/g

    1- part one :

     (?<![{}])[n] -> matches ending of statements without ;

    2- part two:

     ([{};])(n) -> matches newlines after { or } or ;

    3- part three:

     bsB|Bsb|BsB ->match white spaces

    function main() {
    var a = "hello"
    console.log(a)
    return 1;
  }
  
const result = main.toString().replaceAll(
  /(?:(?<![{}])[n]|([{};])(n)|bsB|Bsb|BsB)/g,
  function (match, p1) {
    if (match === "n") return ";";
    if (match === " ") return "";
    return p1;
  }
);

console.log(result);
