Wordpress theme reverted back automatically

I have theme Sydney by ATHEMES activated on my Wordpress site http://www.hamrolagi.com, and edited the theme files without making a child theme. I had edited the header.php, template-tags.php and other templates files according to the customization requirement. It was working fine until yesterday, but today I see that the edits I had made to the files were reverted, and though the site is still functioning, the customizations are lost, except that to the template-tags.php, which is the only file I had edited which was not in the main theme directory. I had backed up the edited files. So, I was able to re-edit them, but I wanted to know what caused it and how to prevent it in future?

I'm pretty sure it was a theme update. Always use child themes - that is by far the only sure way to prevent it from happening in the future.
