The rest of DC should be given back to MD (probably adding one more congressional district to MD) just as some of DC was given back to VA earlier. The idea that a city, with the population of DC (currently ranked the 22nd largest US city - but above the populations of the states of WY and VT) could become a state would open up a can of worms (to create up to 21 more "city-states" with up to 42 more Senators).
Wasn't the reason for making Washington D.C. independent of any state due to having the capital where the US Government resides under a state's laws, which itself is also under the US Government, a bit of an uncomfortable situation? A lot of other nations do similar things.
