First of all install and configure your Production environment for SharePoint apps.

Then follow below steps:

• Open http://<SharePoint-Production site>/_layouts/15/appregnew.aspx.
• Generate client ID and client secret from production site.
• Open source code in Visual Studio -> add this Client ID, Client Secret and other required details in Web project's web.config file and App project's appmanifest file.
• Publish app and web project from source code.
• Upload app file in production site's app catalog site. And host published web files in Production server's IIS or any other dedicated server.
