You can directly use findOneAndUpdate() function to update user profile. Try as below:

const router = express.Router();

const User = require('../models/User');

router.post('/', ensureAuthenticated, (req, res) => {
  User.findOneAndUpdate({_id:req.user.id},{name: req.body.name},{new: true},(err,doc)=>{
       console.log('#### Updated Record ####',doc);
       res.redirect('/profile');
  });   
});



module.exports = router;
