Hi.
The symptoms described are more in accordance with long gaps between meals or long durations of fasting and poor dietary intake. Vitamin B12 deficiency is purely due to a vegetarian diet but will not cause the symptoms you are currently experiencing. I would recommend an upper GI endoscopy for confirmation of the diagnosis and treatment to be advised accordingly.
Best wishes.
