Me rice ended mushy and with a watery taste :( (short grain rice)

I was making short grain rice in the stove and it ended up way to mushy, it had a strange watery-like taste, if someone can help me find the problem and what’s the solution I would appreciate it:)

I used the typical rice measuring cup of 160ml, I had understood that short grain needs like 20% (1.2) so 20% more water than rice (please clarify me on that if I’m wrong)

So I put two cups of rice and two and a half cups of water

How I made it:

As usual I washed it a couple of times until the water was clean, then I put them resting on water for about a hour or more, then I put them on the stove in high heat, a soon as they started boiling i turned the heat to low and left them on for 12 minutes, then I turned the heat off and I leaved them resting on for 10 minutes, I opened them and they were as i described them in the first paragraph
;(

I would appreciate it if yall can tell what’s the problem, sorry for making a big text btw
