can someone please help me fix this!!

hey guys I am pretty new to the c++. I wrote this program which should ask me to input the diamond width and lateral offset and it should then produce a diamond shape.
its asking for the diamond width and lateral offset, but its not producing the diamond shape instead its giving me a whole bunch of lines. can someone please correct this code to help produce a solid diamond shape and should be able to input both lateral offset and diamond width. thank you.
