Assalamu alaykum,

If in Asr, which is four rakats, you sit for tashahud in the third rakat, then this is a mistake by adding extra, simply continue your prayer as normal. At the end of the prayer, do two "sujud sahuw", prostration for forgetfulness, then make the salam as normal to complete the prayer. You should not break your prayer and "pray again", when you realise you have made a mistake, continue to pray as normal, then apply the prostration of forgetfulness.

Wasalamu alaykum
