His 5 card hand is AAAKK (full house), yours is AKQJ6 all hearts (flush) and full house ranks higher

It's a great surprise when this sort of thread doesn't feature some format of Omaha

Yes, welcome to the Forums.

In No Limit you can use one, both or even zero of your holding cards to try and claim a pot. In this case the Winner used their Ace to fill in a Full House. Whereas the other holding used both cards to complete a Flush.

In the game of Omaha mentioned above, each Player MUST use two of their four holding cards (and three from the Board) to create their best hand at Showdown. GL

I'm a little interested in why OP didn't think they lost.

Thank you, when I made this post I was so tired and pissed I didn’t even realize it was a full house ��*♂️ hahah

But thank you I appreciate it a lot. ��
Feel a bit dumb for this one ☝️

Respect to everyone that offered guidance tho.
This poker community is great, I’m looking forward to really learning a lot.
Love poker.

3 of a kind plus 2 of a kind = a full house, which beats your hand (a flush) by one rank but don't be pissed for losing 25 cents that's poker.
