Avoid duplicate indexing in google when hosting in subdomain and using reverse proxy to /subfolder/

Publishing help SEO
#1

I have reverse proxied my webflow blog hosted in sub-domain to sub-folder
from
https://subdomain.mydomain.com
to
https://mydomain.com/blog/

Problem is now I have duplicate content and there is a risk of google indexing both my subdomain url and /blog url.

  1. Is there any way to avoid google from indexing the pages inside my subdomain, and index only subfolder pages inside /blog/.
  2. When I am generating the sitemap, it creates sitemap with subdomain.yourdomain.com, but not Best Website Builder | Create A Website & Go Online| Yoursite.com. Is there any easy way to create sitemaps for subfolder instead of urls from subdomains. Copy pasting manually from sitemap generator everytime a new blog is posted sounds tedious.

Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

I suggest you look at the following resource which explains the problem and provides a solution.
