Urine Urgency at Night
I have tested all my vitals and it's fine largely barring elevated cholesterol levels and TSH at 8.290 µIU/mL, low vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels & HbA1c of 6.5. Did a USG Abdomen test and it came all fine.
But I have this urine urgency don't know why and that only at night. It started with back pain and sleeplessness and then urine frequency. Later the back pain subsided but this urine urgency is still there and it takes me a few hours to go to sleep again (I keep thinking about it too and I'm anxious as well)
I have been losing my sleep for the past few days and I am not aware of which type of specialist to consult

Your TSH of 8.29 is high, which usually points to an underactive thyroid. Your HbA1c of 6.5 falls in the diabetes range as well. Either one can increase how often you pass urine, especially at night. Low vitamin B12 and vitamin D, along with your raised cholesterol, add to the tiredness and disturbed sleep you're describing.
Next Steps
Please see a general physician or an endocrinologist with these reports. They'll likely recheck your thyroid, sugar and cholesterol as a group. A urine test will help confirm how much is contributing to the night-time urgency.
