Now, should I consider these miles as lost, or would it be possible to join Thai Air or any other Star Alliance program and claim them now? My travel dates were from March 27th, 2024, to April 6th, 2024.

Based on WhereToCredit, I seem to have very few options

If this will work, which program would be beneficial for me? I reside in the UK, and most of my travel is to India and Southeast Asia.

Thanks in advance for all the help and advice."

1: It is possible to change before a trip, but I don't think you can after a trip has been taken (and it has been "credited" at 0%).

2: It's typically best that you credit to the program you fly the most for non-alliance perks (if available). What airline do you fly the most? Are these usually cheap economy tickets or expensive business class tickets, or somewhere in-between?
