Normal account recovery is via the process:
Account Recovery

Account Recovery Unsuccessful

Account Recovery Rejected

But you can not use the Account Recovery process for an account with Two Factor authentication. Which it sounds like you have.
If don't have a saved Recovery Code

Then your only remaining option is an Account Security Reset. But you must be able to complete one verification method.

Beyond that, I am sorry, but your account is probably lost.
