Struggling with some basics
I looked through your Parameter table at all the sketch dimensions and could not find a 25 mm diameter circle. You need to clarify your design intent a bit better, maybe a video or real life example.

I haven't done anything but is this where you want to end up?...but with control of the variables such as Diameter height etc?
If you attached a new model, I do not see it. The original model is version 3 and that is all I can find in this post. Please define your goal, what do you want to have change in the model using parameters, what parameters are important, etc. The Forum users are not psychic and cannot read your model or my model that well.

The latest model does not contain any solids at all. At least I can find a 25mm diameter circle. The sketch is also not constrained at all, lacking both sketch dimensions and sketch constraints. No one on the Forum can help you unless you let us know what your true design intent is. The two files you have attached are night and day apart so no one knows how to answer. Most who volunteer here do not like to guess, we like to state proper process and procedures to get successful models. We want to help but you have to give us a way to help by defining your goal.
Edit: Our posts crossed, not we have something to shot for.

Please attach the model you show in the screen capture. If my Forum post solved your question, please select the "Accept Solution" icon to do three things. First it allows others to find a solution to a similar question, two, it closes the Forum post and last, it acknowledges that you accept the solution given. If you need further help, please ask.

Here is a sample parametric model. At this point it is not being controlled by the single dimension of the center hole diameter but it is parametric. You can easily add parametric expressions to links the small and large holes sizes together but you did not specify these relationships. Take and look and see what you need to add and if needed get back with the Forum. A list of the controlling parameters is shown below. Model is attached.

Open up the model I sent you. First thing, notice the clean Timeline (no warning yellow), second open the sketch and notice the fully constrained sketch. These are things you need to be sure to do in every model.

The sketch mirrors just fine and the dimensions are not messed up, for the few you have.

I do a lot of training but I cater my instruction to the person I am tutoring, so I do not have any general tutorials to distribute. I suggest you start with the Self-Paced Learning as indicated below. Do not be impatient, learn slowly and completely. I have been using CAD for many years and still am learning.

Except for not being fully dimensioned, what is wrong with the mirror? After you mirror, if you change one of your circles with a diameter dimension, it will change the mirrored one, so it is working fine.
