Need Advice: Struggling with a Recurring Sin.

Assalomu alaikum sisters, I need your help. I am 18 years old and have struggled with a specific sin (masturbation) several times. Each time, I feel deep regret, I cry, and I repent.

For about a month, my relationship with Allah was very good, Alhamdulillah. I felt close to Him and was beginning to prioritize His love over everything else. Everything was going well until today; I saw some night dresses while shopping, and afterward, I fell into that sin again. 💔

Now I feel as though that closeness and love have vanished. I feel stuck and lost. I’m not currently interested in marriage or romance, so I don't know how to navigate this. What should I do? I’m sorry for posting this, but I really needed to reach out.
