Database Space Available is Large

$

I have been testing the rebuild of many fragmented indexes on my database. The rebuild process went well, but after it finished, I found more than 55% space available in the mdf file. I already took full and log backups. Then, I shrank the log file. Before rebuilding indexes, large portions of data had been removed (almost 26 million records). Should I shrink the database to reduce its size? or this will lead to index fragmentation.

Thanks in advance
