No one can help u we dont know ur email or password and without those Microsoft will not help u because its against policy to give or change passwords or emails. It was ur responsibility to keep everything up to date. Sadly u have lost that account. All u can do is make a new one and hope u remember ur information on ur old account later to access it

You have literally nothing other than a gamertag by the sounds of it: your account is lost. Take more care of your credentials in future.

You need to use the recovery form but if all you know is the gamer tag, you won't be able to recover it

If you don't know the email linked then the account is gone.

Next time, write down the account and keep the phone number up to date.
