The answer

I thank Allah for saving you from sin and guiding you to repent from it. Know that sincere repentance erases all previous sins, even disbelief and major . Allah has promised to accept the repentance of His servants and to forgive their evil deeds, as stated in the noble verses: "And it is He who accepts repentance from His servants and pardons sins" (Ash-Shura: 25), and "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins.'" (Az-Zumar: 53). And among Allah's favors upon the repentant is that He transforms their evil deeds into good deeds, as stated in His saying: "Except for those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds - for them Allah will change their evil deeds into good ones" (Al-Furqan: 70). You must remain steadfast in obedience to Allah, do good deeds, and continuously renew your repentance.
