I use foam tape weather stripping and a door sweep. A dark blanket works too.

You could also build a frame just inside your doorway, like a standing PVC shower curtain and that way when you open the door the light doesn’t enter room. Just an idea bud.

Thermal blackout curtains, use them myself, cheap and effective

Install a pocket door . . . can be trimmed to block light all the way around and doesn't need swing space.

Same way I did my door, still working 20 years later.
