Non exposure to the sun could be one of the causes. 8.19 ng/,ml is low -deficiency of vitamin d.
You can take vitamin d in the injection form or orally 60000 iu sachet once a week for at least 15 weeks along with calcium supplement daily. Exposure to sunlight for 20-30 minutes in the morning ,milk and other dairy products, eggs Orange juice ,codliver oil capsules are a very rich source of vitamin d
