Your Apple ID password is either known to the thieves, or the thieves convinced somebody with the password to remove Activation Lock, the thieves have phished either you or Apple, or the thieves have bypassed that security.


Change the Apple ID password.


As for the iPhone, it’s gone.


If you have no backups, the data too is gone.


What data is stored in iCloud should still be available, assuming the thieves didn’t choose to disable and delete that,
