Hi all! I’m extremely new to the hobby and think I’m cycled but please give feedback…

I have a 36gal tank - I peaked ammonia then peaked nitrites with nitrates and the nitrites stayed stagnant for about 3 weeks at 5ppm and ammonia was 0 after the nitrites peaked even though I was dosing the tank every now and then. I just did a 50% water change and my nitrites are now 0 and ammonia is still 0. Nitrates are no longer detectable either. What does this mean? Been going at this since the beginning of January. Help a lady out!

You are cycled, add livestock slowly.
 
Sounds cycled like they said go slow in stocking ..
 
Cycled and ready to go! Best of luck to adding livestock to your tank!
