truthfully I would have just said “yes I did” or “yes I reviewed it” for an easy answer lol but to answer your question it’s probably have given that you did the action already, yes it repeats again but had wouldn’t make any sense when you read it out loud

Correct is "Yes, I reviewed my lessons last night". (simple past)
"I have" is used for events closely related to the present moment. When you say "last night", that separated the event from the present moment. You can use "I have" in sentences like:
"I have reviewed my lessons every night this week" (because this week is still going on)
"I have reviewed my lessons and prepared for today's test." (linked to today/present moment)
"I had" is used when you are talking about one action that occurs before another. So you can say:
"I had reviewed my lessons before I went to bed."
"I had reviewed my lessons by the time I got home."

Verb tense is incorrect in your sentences. We can correct in these two ways:
Have you reviewed your lessons?" I HAVE reviewed my lessons. = PAST PERFECT tense
Did you review your lessons last night?" I reviewed my lessons last night. = PAST SIMPLE tense
