Hello,
For a vegetarian its difficult to obtain B12 through food. You can opt for B12 tablets it will help overcome your deficiency also it has no side effect. BECOSULE is a tablet availabe in market for B12. Consult a physician/ dietician for prescription.
Including milk and milk products OR fortified milk and milk product will help.

Hi
For a vegetarian it's very difficult to cover Vitamin B12 Deficiency with a diet.
You need to take a Vitamin B12 Supplement to cover up with the deficiency.
You can contact Doctor for a Vitamin B12 Supplement. I am not the right person to prescribe the medicine.
Next Steps
Meet a Dietician/Nutritionist for personalized diet plan if required
