Deficiency of vitamin D is common in females and vegetarians. and can be managed using calcium and vitamin D supplements.
The reasons vary , the main one being inadequate sunlight exposure, because sunlight exposure is important for our body to synthesize vitamin D.
Being obese, decreased absorption from the gut, and kidney problems may also be the cause of vitamin D deficiency.

Also, please try to get adequate sunlight exposure.
