Unfortunately, Instagram does not currently offer a feature to block someone from seeing who you follow. Your followers and following lists are public to anyone who visits your profile, unless your account is private. If you have a private account, only your approved followers can see your followers and following lists. If privacy is a concern, you might consider setting your account to private or carefully curating who you allow to follow you.
