iPhone SE display stays on

I have reset it according to the on-line instructions and if I turn the phone off and back on it goes dark until I use it, then reverts to on all the time. How do I fix this?

iPhone 5s, iOS 12

We recommend trying the steps here: Keep the iPhone display on longer - Apple Support

"Change when iPhone automatically locks

You can set how long it takes iPhone to automatically lock.

Go to Settings  > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock, then choose a length of time."
