I check theme in Envato Theme Check and I got this warning
warnings: “Found register_widget (…) Custom widgets are plugin territory”

Please help me with how to solve it??

You have to move your theme Custom widgets into a plugin. So, when customer will install only theme then there will not be Custom widgets, but when customer install the plugin then customer will be able to add this Custom widgets.

Hope this will help. Thanks

That is not a problem. That is the right way how it should work. Customer must activate the plugin if he want to have same layout like your demo.

you have to set a recommend plugins list for customer. So that they can install all necessary plugins before importing demo.
