Hi,
Notably you have low iron and b12 levels. The real question is why? At your age, it's not usual to have such levels.
1. You need to look at your diet and think of how to make it as balanced as possible. If you are a meat water, consume good portions of meat each day.
2. Greens and legumes are rich in iron.
3. Currently you can take supplements for the time being to get your levels up. But remember this is not a long term solution

Yes you can take iron and vit b12 supplements but you need to start a healthy life style as such supplementation will support you to reach normal levels again but to maintain those levels you can't take such supplements life long as the requirement can be fulfilled by eating healthy food
