Does wash sale loss trigger if I sell my stocks above my average cost even though I bought some stocks within the 30 days above the sale price?

So I understand the wash sale is triggered if I sell for a loss and then buy the same stock within 30 days. But what is defined as a loss in said situation:

Purchased 100 stock xyz for $25 then purchased 100 more stock when it went down to $20. My average cost of 200 stock is $22.50. I decide to sell at let's say $24 and within the next 30 days I decide to buy stock again. Does this trigger a wash sale or will this be considered a profit because average cost determines if it was a loss or gain?
