    req.params.id will be of type string, while req.user.id will be probably of type ObjectId.

    Can you try this:

    if (req.params.id.toString() === req.user.id.toString()) {

    As mentioned before req.user.id type is ObjectId. Also you should send an error when ids are not the same.

    Example for your code:

    const updateUser = async (req, res, next) => {
  try {
    if (req.params.id !== req.user.id.toString()) {
      // Send error in here.
    }

    const updateuser = await User.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, {
      $set: req.body,
    });
    res.status(200).json(updateuser);
  } catch (error) {
    next(error);
  }
};
