Do check whether you face any health issue due to these deficiencies. Vit B12 injection would help you in this case. But consult your physician for the same first. A detailed case history would help to add dietary nutrition.

Rather than being dependent on the medicines, it is advisable to consume nutrient rich foods to overcome the deficiencies. Your B12 levels are at borderline. These levels can be corrected by consuming foods like milk and other dairy products,eggs, fish, fortified cereals.
Your Vitamin D levels are normal. Too high vitamin D levels can lead to toxicity and can cause health problems
