Show that two groups that are isomorphic to a third group are isomorphic to each other

Prove that if G is isomorphic to K and H is isomorphic to K then G and H are isomorphic to each other.

My strategy thus far has been to show that we can use composition of the respective isomorphisms to map from G to K then K to H. Would it be conclusive to show that this process can be inverted thus proving G and H are isomorphic?

Isomorphism is transitive, since the composition of two isomorphisms is an isomorphism. This is utterly straight forward. In fact, it's not hard to see that isomorphism defines an equivalence relation.
