[Tex/LaTex] Why is there a blank page between the title and table of contents page

Question

I'm kind of new here, so please point out any mistakes I make in asking the question.

I'm trying to make a new Latex document but I'm seeing an extra, blank page between my Title(1st) and Table of Contents(3rd – should be 2nd) pages.

What mistake am I making? Or is there a problem on Overleaf ?

Here's my code:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{nomencl}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand{\cmark}{\text{\ding{51}}}
\newcommand{\xmark}{\text{\ding{55}}}
\usetikzlibrary{intersections}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[colorinlistoftodos]{todonotes}
\usepackage{parskip}
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\makenomenclature

Answer 1

As established in the comments, the problem was that the title page was too big. (By using the demo option in graphicx package and playing around with the vertical spacing, it is possible to replicate the problem.)

Anyway, the easy solution would be to reduce vertical spacings or the height of the images you are using -- something that I can't comment about since you might have format guidelines set by your institute etc.

Here's the result if the height of images is reduced (no more empty page between title page and TOC):

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{report}

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{parskip}
