When specifying body_format: json, the uri module will JSON encode the
body. Your body is already JSON encoded, so it is being double encoded.
Try using from_json on your lookup such as:
"{{ lookup('template', ...)|from_json }}"
Or remove body_format from your uri task, which may require you to set the
content type header explicitly.
