Placing an unprotected return statement into the server block will attempt to redirect both the http and https sites, resulting in a loop. You could place the return statement inside an if block and detect when the protocol is not https, or the more common solution is split the configuration across two server blocks, for example:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name site.com www.site.com;
    return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name site.com www.site.com;
    ssl_certificate /path/to/SSL;
    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/SSL/key;
    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location /site_media/static/ {
        alias /home/user/folder/static/dist/;
    }
    location / {
        include         uwsgi_params;
        uwsgi_pass      unix:/tmp/site.sock;
    }
}
