Well first of all send your reports.
After that i can advise you for your betterment.
You don't need to stand outside in sunlight from 9 am to 2 pm,it will damage your skin but this is not the way to increase your vit d3 level,this is a very slow process.
Consult please

Your vitamin D level is significantly low and B12 86 is also deficient; these usually need a proper replacement regimen, not sunlight alone. A calcium of 10 is generally within the usual range, but supplements should be reviewed rather than stopped or increased on your own. Excess supplementation can affect the kidneys in some people.
Next Steps
Please consult for a tailored B12 and vitamin D prescription and repeat calcium, vitamin D, B12 and kidney tests after treatment. You can book a consultation with me on Practo to review the reports safely.

Hello,
Your Vitamin B12 (86) and Vitamin D (4.5) levels are significantly low and require proper supplementation. Please don’t rely only on sunlight or diet; the appropriate dose and route of supplementation should be decided based on your reports and symptoms.
For Vitamin D, prolonged direct sun exposure is not necessary—brief, sensible exposure while avoiding sunburn is sufficient, and supplementation is usually required at this level.
Your calcium level of 10 mg/dL is generally within the normal range and does not need to be lowered on its own. Avoid taking calcium supplements unnecessarily unless advised by your doctor.
You can consult me personally on Practo for a detailed review of your reports and a personalised treatment plan.

Your vitamin B12 (86) and vitamin D (4.5) are significantly low if reported in the usual units. Your calcium level of 10 is within the normal range, so there is no need to try to lower it unless there's a specific reason.
Recheck vitamin D, B12 and calcium after the recommended treatment period. If calcium becomes elevated on repeat testing, doctor can evaluate the cause.
Next Steps
Consult a physician for appropriate vitamin D and B12 supplementation and follow-up testing. Avoid taking high-dose supplements on your own.
Health Tips
Do not deliberately expose yourself to strong midday sunlight for long periods. Normal, safe sun exposure along with prescribed vitamin D supplementation is preferable. Maintain a calcium-balanced diet and adequate hydration.

You are deficient in B12 and vitamin D and your calcium is normal.For personalised treatment and prescription book a direct consultation.
Next Steps
It is not advisable to stand under the sun as your vitamin D levels are extremely low and will not improve by standing under the sun.It can cause more harm than benefit.You can take a trial of CHOLECALCIFEROL granules 1sachet mixed in 200 ml of water /milk once a week for 6 weeks followed by once a month for 6 months.
