Just replace the middle part with whitespaces instead of the symbol.

1. Print first the symbol without the trailing new line
2. Then print the whitespaces only inside the second for loop.
3. Last, after the iteration of for loop, print again the symbol.

[ Additional ]
I remove the input prompt/text temporarily for now as it won't output in code playground properly and will affect the drawing.

Anyway, here is the first solution from your code:

Here is an another solution which is shorter and just the same with the first one.
