The easiest way is to contact google and see if they can assist. Is the website sending a MFA code to your phone? I got lucky one time and it was asking me to add a phone number for MFA so I could enter any new number. They sometimes allow other ways to confirm your account like another email address.

They dont let you add an email anymore when trying to recover. That email is set up during the creation of the account or sometimes it will bug you about it when you sign in.
OP If you do not have a backup recovery email set up, and you no longer have access to the phone number linked to the account, it is extremely unlikely you will be able to recover this account.
