You should use an async function. First convert the HTTP request to a promise, then call that promise asynchronously inside the for loop:

 asyncReq (){
    return  new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
          this.user.list_upload(JSON.stringify(ins_arr)).subscribe(data=>{
            if(data.hasOwnProperty('STATUS')){        
              if(data.STATUS.toLowerCase()=='success')
              {  
                this.update();
                resolve();
              }
              else if(data.STATUS.toLowerCase() == 'error')
              {
                this.user.showToast(data.MESSAGE);  
                reject();
              }
            }
          },err=>{
            this.user.showToast("Error occurred in service file");
            reject(err);
          });
      })
  }


  //Async function where loop progresses only after asyncReq completes
  async asyncForFunction () {
    for(let i=0; i < final_arr.length; i++){
      await this.asyncReq ();
    }
  }
