Do you have the backup of persist partition when your phone was L1 ? If yes, then try restoring it.

No I don't have. I have searched in various telegram groups to take persist backup on someone else (same device) and change serial number in it? Should I try that? There were people complaining that they were not able to install/update stock rom after doing this process. Please GUIDE, I am a beginner in these things....

You could try that but I am not sure if that would restore the wiped DRM keys. In some phones (Moto G5 Plus?), backup of persist from other phones would do no good.

Also you can try flashing stock ROM through AFT and see if it helps you.

An please REMEMBER TO TAKE BACKUP before attempting any of the above methods.

Already tried flashing stock rom via AFT, but Widevine stays at L3. I am not risking to flash persist of other device as it may lead to further issues. Please let me know if there is some more efficient way out of this issue. Thanks.

I heard flashing q firmware permanently causes issues with widevine l1. The only way to bring it back is to restore a previous persist backup or flash a qfil rom (not sure about the latter). If you don't have a backup, too bad chief.

Partially correct. QB1 update caused widevine downgrade to L3 but QB2 restored it to L1. Of course, you have to be bootloader locked all the time. Too many theories going around to restore L1 on UBL but none proven, even persist backup method isn't 100%
