How to instantiate and show the properties of a custom UObject in a Component

Hi! I am having a problem trying to instantiate a UObject in a Component.
My UObject .h:

UCLASS(DefaultToInstanced, BlueprintType)
class TOPDOWN_API UAttributes : public UObject
{
	GENERATED_BODY()
	
private:
	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Base Attributes", meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true", ClampMin = 1))
	int Strength;
}

I declare the UObject in my component .h

private:
	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
	class UAttributes * Attributes;

And I instantiate the UObject in the .cpp:

UStateComponent::UStateComponent()
{
	Attributes = CreateDefaultSubobject<UAttributes>(TEXT("Attributes"));
}

Then I declare the component in the Character:

	UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadOnly, meta = (AllowPrivateAccess = "true"))
	class UStateComponent*  StateComponent;

And I instantiate the component:

StateComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStateComponent>(TEXT("StateComponent"));

The problem is that it isn’t showing the properties of the UObject in the property window.

But the strange thing is that if I create the Component from the editor then it shows the properties.

What am I missing?
