Nxg4 attacks queen after Rg3
Rd3 is better because after ...Nxg4, the g file rook can capture while the d file rook maintains pressure on the queen.
If Rg3 Nxg4 Rxg4, black's queen can slip away
And even though Rg3 wins a piece, it's still not enough for an advantage since white was down a piece at the start of the puzzle.

Thanks for your answers ! I had missed the Nxg4 problem.
