I just loaded a Yashicmat 124G and went a little ahead by accident. I have to keep remembering that little is more when it comes to winding. I would say that the arrow on the film is maybe about in between the green and red marker positions. I am guessing I might lose a few frames? Guessing maybe about two. I don't mind losing a couple or could I just advance the film all the way and put the film through another time and then restart? Option B sounds like a little bit of a hassle. Thanks.

In a darkroom or changing bag, open the camera, remove the roll of film, and rewind it onto the spool. Then load again.

Do not advance the roll of film to the end.

If anything, you might lose just a bit of frame 12, if anything, if you just leave it as is.
