Google Play Console: Lost the upload key which is required to upload the APK

I have lost my upload key which is required to upload the android APK file on Google Play Console. Tried with a new key but since the fingerprints don't match it doesn't work.

However, I have 'App Signing' by Google enabled. So, I'm hoping to not unpublish the app and do the entire "Create Application" process on Google Play Console.

How do I fix this issue?

If you’ve lost your private upload key, or it’s been compromised, you can create a new one, and then ask your account owner to contact support to reset the key. When contacting support, make sure your account owner attaches the upload_certificate.pem file.

After our support team registers the new upload key, you receive an email, and then you can update your keystores and register your key with API providers.

Important: Resetting your upload key doesn’t affect the app signing key that Google Play uses to re-sign APKs before delivering them to users.
