On Instagram, you cannot fully hide your following list on a public account. Instagram does not offer a setting to make followers or following private while keeping the account public. The only real option is switching to a private account, where only approved followers can see it.

You can reduce visibility, but not hide it. You can remove followers manually if you do not want specific people seeing your following list. But anyone who follows you will still see both your followers and following lists.
