[anti aging] help with anti aging routine for mid 20s

I (25F) have always been consistent with skincare, but I haven’t really focused on anti-aging yet. I don’t have wrinkles or visible signs of aging, but I want to be proactive and don’t really know where to start.
I’m mostly curious about what serums or actives I should be using.

Here is my current skincare routine which I do morning and night (aside from sunscreen only in morning):

Cerave gentle skin cleanser
La roche posay double repair moisturizer
Drunk elephant C-firma vitamin c serum (tbh I have no idea if this is even an effective product, I just like the glow it gives me lol).
Beauty of Joseon Sunscreen (the Korean version)

I know sunscreen is the most important step for preventing aging, but what else is worth adding? Is vitamin C the main thing, or should I be considering tretinoin/retinol, etc.? Is there a more effective sunscreen I should be using? I get overwhelmed by all the options and don’t know what’s actually worth starting with.

For context, I have combination skin that can be sensitive to new or harsh products. My skin is generally smooth with minimal texture, and I only get the occasional breakout (acne mostly behind me since my late teens/early 20s).
