You don't. Your items are gone.
Secure your compromised account instead, and learn from it.

It's probable that someone else is logged in to your account, so you need to secure it as soon as possible. Do it now, don't wait until tomorrow.

Steps 2, 3 and 5 are fast and easy to do, so do them right away

1. Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

2. Deauthorize all devices https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage

3. Change your password on a secure device.

4. Generate new back up codes.

5. Revoke the api key https://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

A few additional words to the important advice by Joker up there:
At some point in the last weeks or months, you have given your login to a malicious website. This website has placed a bot into your account, that has waited for you to make a valuable trade offer. Then it canceled the offer, made a sock puppet account take the name and avatar of your intended trade partner, sent a trade to that one instead... well, and you know the rest.
This bot will keep doing that thing until it is removed, and that's exactly, what these steps up there are there for. Do them.

If a website requests your Steam login in the future, do a login on the main page of Steam itself. Legitimate sites will recognise this and let you confirm your account without entering your name and password.

Private profile; does not show level to non-friends.
Besides, he simply copied the list of steps, that is given to everyone with this problem since the hijacking first appeared, I think in 2017. Just do that stuff.

Willing to wager that op takes into account someone's steam level and/or +reps on their profile for trust which likely lead to the predicament they are currently in. Hopefully they actually follow joker's advice.
