So I recently lost an old iPhone and had to get a new number and everything. I had 2 factor authentication on on my old phone So now I can’t get into my old iCloud because I lost the number I used. Is there any way to get my old iCloud back?
iPhone 6s, iOS 13
If you don’t have another device that is also already signed into your Apple ID you will need to do account recovery by going to iforgot.apple.com. Two factor authentication requires you to have access to the trusted number and device which you do not. Good luck! Account recovery can take anywhere from a few days to several days depending on the information you provide.

See Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204974 Below is an excerpt, but read the whole document. See the bold italics below.
Whenever you sign in with your Apple ID on a new device or browser, you'll confirm your identity with your password plus a six-digit verification code. There are a few ways you can get a verification code. You can use the code displayed on your trusted device, get a text or phone call, or generate a code from your trusted device [see the additional information in the article].
A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch with iOS 9 and later or a Mac with OS X El Capitan and later that you've already signed into using two-factor authentication.
If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. This link takes you to:

“Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity. After you request account recovery, you'll get an email with a confirmation of your request and the date and time of when you can expect to regain access. … When the wait period is over, Apple sends you a text or automated phone call with instructions to regain access to your account.” Read the whole document carefully.
