Appropriate distance and CRS

Question

I want to use buffer function using miles or kilometers in Louisiana. I checked Changing unit of measure from degrees to meters in QGIS?. The original CRS is EPSG:4326 - WGS 84 - Geographic and the distance is reasonable in Picture 1. I changed to EPSG:32615 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 15N - Projected. But, distance parameters do not work (Picture 2). How do I fix this problem?

How did you change the crs? Did you set it or reproject the layer? — Ian Turton, Jan 10 '22 at 17:47
I use Layer CRS and Set Layer CRS.... Then select mentioned CRS. — hiroaki, Jan 10 '22 at 18:05
You must use the tool:
toolbox >> reproject layer and define the new CRS — LM10, Jan 10 '22 at 18:26
