Try using:

(?<='constant_string' \: )([A-Za-z0-9_]*)

And replace with:

'\1'

Captures the string into a capturing group and uses it to replace the quoted value

Demo : https://regex101.com/r/Hl3Zpe/1

Better Method:

('constant_string' \: )([A-Za-z0-9_]*)

Replace with

'\2'

Using 2 here, since there are two capturing groups and \1 is now constant_string : and the variable string is in \2
