Steps

-> create a flow variable of type Integer and initialize with 0

-> Just before using Go back use "Set Flow Variables" flow logic and increment it by 1 using script

-> After "Set Flow Variables" use IF flow logic and check the value of that flow variable

-> if reached to 3 then don't go to the Go back step, simply use "Exit Loop" or jump to other action

@saikumarkak 

another way

-> create flow variable of type Integer and store value as 0 in it using "Set Flow Variables" flow logic

-> then use Do the following 

a) your flow actions

b) use "Set Flow Variables" flow logic to increment the count by 1

-> Until count is 3

See this and enhance your flow so that it runs 3 times

run flow 3 times based on flow variable.gif
