This article in the Duo Knowledge Base contains our recommended course of action:
What do I do if I’m locked out of Instagram, Facebook, or another third-party Duo Mobile account?
Duo Support cannot help you get into third-party services. They do not have any backup codes or way to restore your accounts.

You'll need to work with the providers of those accounts to regain access.
When you set up two-factor authentication did you save the recovery or backup codes provided by the app you were setting up to use with Duo Mobile?
Like, the Instagram help center says this:
Note: After you've turned on two-factor authentication, you'll be able to see login requests and remove trusted devices. If you lose access to your phone or email address and are unable to get login codes, you can use a backup code to log in. Learn more about login codes.
