Brief Answer:
Supplements will be enough.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Most adults will have undetected vitaminD deficiency and it will not cause much problems and does not predispose you to cancer or other serous health diseases.
Nothing much to worry and vitaminD supplements will help you to attain normal range in few months.
As of now continue the vitaminD supplements and you can repeat the test after three months to assess the progress.
