I recommend start doing this.
1. Scan for malware. https://www.malwarebytes.com/
2. Change password for all accounts using same password.
3. Deauthorize all other devices. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
4. Generate new backup codes. https://store.steampowered.com/twofactor/manage
5. Revoke the API key. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/dev/apikey <--- Should be nothing there.

If the trade is over 7 days old there nothing you can do.

Always turn on but at the moment of trade, no notification. At least there is a bright side: no need to play CS or Dota anymore since I have nothing left.

That if want to bypass hold restrictions.

Trade can be committed, but place on hold for 2 weeks, unless you're friend with the scammer account for over a year, which reduce trade hold to one day.

Also to point out again, there recent added trade protection, which if trade was finalize, and it gone beyond 7 days that the trade was completed there no way to revert trade.
