Your Hb level 12.1 is not significantly low and no treatment is required for that.
Iron richvfood will be good improve iron level.
BP is also acceptable as far as age is concerned.
However HbA1c is high and clinically significant. Need treatment and regular follow up . Get FBS, PPBS also done. Life style modification including diabetic diet is must.
Next Steps
consult doctor for prescription.
