Yes you have iron deficiency. Need to take supplements. Or can just increase the intake of iron rich diet. But it will take a bit longer than supplements.
Next Steps
Patient should consult a doctor online or offline and take proper supplements or dietary advice and should be monitored for at least 6 months to replenish iron stores in the body.
