I was promoted 3 months ago, because my review was very good, and my boss felt I could handle more. He seems to be regretting that decision though

In a healthy work environment, your colleagues more familiar with the tasks in your new role should help you.
But let's work on things that you can control. Why are you making the mistakes? What could help you make less mistakes?
Do you need specific training? Then ask your boss for the training. Or ask your colleagues nicely for help.
Are the new instructions tricky to follow? Sometimes old SOPs passed down from long ago can be confusing. Would it help to set aside time to come up with an updated SOP or a checklist? (Updating such stuff for the organisation could prove to be another boost for your performance review)
Are you learning from your mistakes? This could be very task-dependent so I'm just making general statements. If yes then you're fine, hang in there. If not, i honestly don't think going back to the old role is a good idea because your boss obviously thinks you're better than that. Is there a lateral role that might suit you better? Same "level" of stuff that you're doing after promotion, but you may be better at that. If so, maybe ask for some exposure and consider a transfer?
