Can someone tell me if theres a way to predict my potential off of what I got now? Ive been pretty sedentary for few years only playing basketball with friends and running to catch a train sometimes, but now for 5 months Ive been pretty consistently running 15-20mpw and I decided that I want to know my heart rate zones so I went to a lab for vo2max+LT test, got 58 for vo2 max and pretty slow lactate zones as my economy isnt all that great

is there more to come for me? Im 20yo
Yes, most running watches that take heart rate do some kind of predictive analytics.that becomes more accurate as you record a lot of runs.
Keep running. Get as fit as you can. That will raise your VO2 max...and then try to lose some weight once you are fit and can tolerate running at a calorie deficit. The weight loss will improve your VO2 max/unit body weight. Which is a better measure for running.

You're VO2 max already takes into account weight. It's milliliters of oxygen consumed in a min per kg of body weight (mL/kg/min).

but if you consume same amount of oxygen but weigh less, you VO2 max will be higher
