Your 25-OH vitamin D level is severely low and needs medical correction, not diet alone. I would confirm the report, review calcium/kidney function and symptoms, and choose an appropriate replacement course. Include safe sunlight and vitamin-D-rich foods, but do not self-start high-dose supplements. Book a Practo consultation with me so I can review the report and plan follow-up testing.

A 25-OH vitamin D level below 3 ng/mL indicates severe vitamin D deficiency. Vegetarian foods generally provide only small amounts of vitamin D. Useful sources include vitamin-D-fortified milk or plant-based milk, fortified cereals, and UV-exposed mushrooms. Adequate sunlight exposure may also help. However, with a level this low, dietary sources alone are usually insufficient, and vitamin D supplementation is generally required. Please consult a doctor for an appropriate replacement dose and follow-up, especially if you have kidney, liver, parathyroid or calcium-related problems.

A vitamin D level this low needs proper correction, and diet alone usually isn't enough to bring it up quickly.
Next Steps
Sunlight for 15 to 20 minutes daily along with vitamin D rich vegetarian foods like mushrooms, fortified milk, and paneer can help, but please get the exact supplement dose from your doctor rather than self treating.
