Hi!
Both your parameters seem to be in the normal range, you can opt for natural food sources and sunlight to get sufficient vitamin D and B12.
Take these supplements ONLY if prescribed by a doctor/dietitian. Lower back pain and tingling could also be due to other reasons.
Include dry fruits and nuts, flax seeds, fresh fruits, beet root, eggs and chicken liver(if non vegetarian) to improve your vitamin status .
