Body weakness

Hello Doctor, I am experiencing severe weakness, sharp pain in my calf muscles, and lower back pain sometimes .My Hemoglobin, TSH, Blood Sugar, and Electrolytes are all completely normal. Could this be a Vitamin D3 or B12 deficiency, and which further tests or treatments do you recommend?"

B12, Vitamin D Deficiency & Fatigue

I am a 30-year-old male with persistent fatigue and low energy. My recent blood tests show Vitamin B12 <148 pg/mL and Vitamin D 11.8 ng/mL. Hb is 15.1 g/dL and CBC is otherwise normal. Thyroid, HbA1c, kidney function and most liver parameters are normal. I am vegetarian. Please advise on the appropriate treatment for these deficiencies, including whether oral B12 or injections are preferable, dosage and duration. Also, should I get any further tests to identify the cause of the severe B12 deficiency or investigate my fatigue? I can share the complete blood report.
