Back up

I bought a replacement phone and didn’t restore my info from a previous backup at the time. I have been using my new phone for about a year and I need to know if I restore a backup on it now will I lose the new info that I have accumulated over the last year?

Yes. The first step in restoring is to erase the device. A restore results in replacing the data currently on a device with the data from the time of the backup. See: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
