You have severe, multiple deficiencies, I.e. Iron, vit. B12, d3,platelets. Better consult a physician physically for clinical examination.
Take more of green, leafy vegetables, beetroot, pumpkin, berries, raisins, dry fruits, milk products like curd, cheese, milk, mushrooms, eggs, fortified cereals.

Your results show severe vitamin-D deficiency (value <3 ng/mL) and low B12 (177 pg/mL) plus low haemoglobin and platelets. These findings can explain your symptoms (weakness, cramps, joint pain, tingling, mood changes). This needs prompt evaluation and treatment.
What to do now (urgent → soon)
1. If you have any bleeding, bruising, high fever, black stools, fainting or breathlessness — go to emergency now.
2. Start vitamin-D replacement under a doctor’s plan — typical regimen is cholecalciferol 60,000 IU weekly for 6–8 weeks then maintenance, but severe deficiency may need supervised loading and monitoring of calcium. Do not self-prescribe very high doses without follow up.
3. Treat vitamin B12 deficiency promptly — either intramuscular cyanocobalamin injections (eg. 1000 µg IM daily for 1 week then weekly for 4 weeks then monthly) or high-dose oral B12 (1000–2000 µg daily) depending on cause; neuropathic symptoms are an indication to start urgently.
4. Investigate the low haemoglobin & platelets — get a repeat CBC with peripheral smear, serum ferritin, iron/TIBC, reticulocyte count, LFT, renal function, thyroid tests, and relevant infection/autoimmune screens (HIV, Hep B/C, ANA) as advised by your doctor. Management depends on cause (iron deficiency, hemolysis, bone-marrow problem, etc.).
5. Symptom relief: simple analgesics for pain (paracetamol), adequate hydration, avoid heavy physical exertion until platelet cause is known.
6. Follow-up monitoring: repeat CBC, vitamin D and calcium, and B12 levels after treatment starts; monitor for improvement in energy, mood and neuropathy.
Why this matters
Severe vitamin-D and B12 deficiencies can cause weakness, cramps, bone/joint pain, mood changes and neuropathy. Low platelets/anemia need diagnosis — some causes require urgent treatment.

As both your Vitamin B12 and D levels are significantly low, and you are also having many symptoms associated with the deficiency, treatment with injections initially followed by oral medications for maintenance is best, and injections will help to relieve symptoms faster compared to oral medications for immediate betterment.
Next Steps
Consult a nearby general physician or practioner and start with your treatment as soon as possible.
