C172 pilot reported a runway excursion during landing roll. Pilot regained control and taxied to parking.

Narrative

Plane was being ferried out of ZZZ1 back to home base at ZZZ after an annual.On landing rollout plane started to ground loop to the left while landing Runway XX. Approach was fine though I might have been 5 kts. fast.When touch down plane veered left and I wasn't quick enough to correct without what I felt was excessive maneuvers so as the plane veered left I felt adding power was too late to go around and gained control of plane but now was heading west. There were no landing lights in front of me so I felt the best course of action was to keep the plane under control going straight ahead onto the grass area between the runway and taxiway. Stopped plane before entering 1 taxiway and called Tower. They realized that everything was OK and then gave me taxi directions onto [Taxiway] 1 and to proceed to my hangar.Looked over plane in hangar no damage and it didn't even cause ruts in the grass.Reason I feel is that I had not flown the plane since it went to annual 2 months ago and I was a bit slow on the rudders controlling the plane from a bit too much energy on landing and not fast enough with the rudder belt did feel in control and made a deliberate move straight forward instead of drastic moves to try to get it back on the runway and possibly then cause a ground or wing strike.
