Your proof is correct. If you need a formal "two column" proof:

The reason for step 2 is that it's given - it follows from the definition of equilateral.

The reason for 3) and 4) is Euclid Proposition I.4 https://mathcs.clarku.edu/~djoyce/elements/bookI/guide2.html

The reason for 5) is the transitivity of "equals".
