1. Globulin (Calculated) 1.57 g/dL (calc) | Reference Range: 2.1 - 3.7 g/dL (calc)
2. Albumin/Globulin Ratio 3.18 (calc) | Reference Range: 1 - 2.1 (calc)
3. Potassium 3.26 mEq/L | Reference Range: 3.5 - 5.2 mEq/L
4. Vitamin D 24 ng/mL | Reference Range: 30 - 100 ng/mL

Brief Answer:
These are not worrisome
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Globulin levels, if high indicate infections. If low, could indicate malnutrition. You maybe taking less of proteins. Since you are breastfeeding, your body requires nutrition for two people. You should increase you food intake accordingly. No need of supplements. Just your routine diet should be sufficient for providing nutrition to you and your baby.
Albumin/globulin is a ratio and is abnormal due to low globulin levels
For low potassium levels, you can increase intake of foods having potassium like fruits, spinach, potatoes and dry fruits. Also get an ECG done to rule out any heart rhythm disturbances. Heart rhythm disturbances manifest at potassium levels below 3. That is why it is currently non-worrisome
Vitamin D is lower than normal. You are already taking supplement called Eliocal Forte. Since your calcium levels are within normal limits, I have recommended its dose as once every 3 days to avoid its accumulation in body.
Hemoglobin of 12 is normal for XXXXXXX female.
If you have more doubts, please feel free to post follow up
