if my sums are correct, and your readings are too, then you should have a 5.4% ABV cider there. Give it a week under air lock to settle and clear and see how it goes from there.

Once it's clear, I'd bottle it and drink! Not sure if this is what others would suggest.
Don't add sugar, except for priming bottles to get it fizzy. In which case, make sure you definitely have pressure bottles otherwise you'll be making ciderbombs, and add about half a teaspoon per bottle, into each bottle, before filling.
