Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.
As-salaamu `alaykum wa-ramatullahi wa-barakatuh.
Sister in Islam,
Allah is الغفور (The Most Forgiving).
Allah is الرحيم (The Most Moerciful).
Allah is الستار (The Concealer of sins)
Allah Ta`ala tells us in the Quran;
Translation; “Say, O my beloved salves who how wronged themselves, do not be despondent from the mercy of Allah. Allah forgives all sins. He is the Most forgiving, Most Merciful”. (Sura Zumar. Verse 53).
You committed a sin and made tauba. Be rest assured, if you were sincere in your tauba, you are forgiven. In future exercise restraint. That is taqwa when a person commits sins and repents, that is very much liked by Allah.
Rasulullah ﷺ said;
Translation; “The one who repented from a sin is like one who did not commit a sin” (Sunan Ibni Majah, Vol 5, Pg 320, Risalatul Aalamiyya)
And Allah Ta`ala Knows Best.
