The 2FA was enabled by default, I don’t know why but I can’t seem to remember the phone number or have it anymore, how can I recover my account?
This is account recovery:
There doesn’t seem to have any security questions, only the Trusted Phone Number, and that phone number hasn’t been verified yet, what should I do?
And yeah I’m not inside the Apple ID anymore, if you are curious.

Select your country (also look for "other" regions), then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session and get the representative to redirect you.

Two factor is enabled automatically on any caccount created in the past couple of years. Apple encourages everybody to use it but only makes it mandatory on the most recent accounts.
If you can still sign into your account on another device you can investigate adding more ways to get a code such as multiple telephone numbers where you can receive a text or a phone call. This is from the section "About trusted phone numbers and trusted devices" in the article: Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
To see, add, or change your trusted phone numbers use one of these methods:
● On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Go to Settings > your name > Password & Security. Next to Trusted Phone Number, tap Edit.
● On a Mac computer choose Apple menu > System Settings (or System Preferences), then click your name (or Apple ID). Click Password & Security, then add or remove a trusted phone number.
● Using a web browser: Go to the Account Security section of https://appleid.apple.com .

Again I haven't used them but it may be a business hours only kind of place if you don't get an immediate answer.
I mean I can’t access the Apple ID at all, even when I try, the Trusted Device(only have one btw) is completely gone, is there anyway to disable the 2FA(or to change the phone number at least) without accessing Apple ID?
Read the support article I provided. It unfortunately drops the ball on specific of how to use it. I tried looking it up but it appears it may vary from region to region. I have never needed it but I am guessing that below the main data entry fields there's a little question with a link that lets you use alternatives.
Could a carrier solve my situation?
Given your situation, even if you were eligible for disabling 2 factor, you would not be able to meet the log-on criteria for disabling it. Use account recovery.
How to use Account Recovery?
(I doubt I have the feature on/made adjustments for it)
The issue is that I don’t really remember the Phone Number in order to start account recovery, you’d need a phone number, but I really don’t memorize it, just the first 3 numbers.
Is there a chat one? Because my SIM Card is empty.
No. This is purely Apple security.
Forgot my Trusted Phone Number, and the Trusted Device isn’t “Trusted” anymore
