After changing choice column type from multi choice to choice back I have lost all values
Changing from choice to text to choice is no issue. The problem is you went to multi-choice and presumably you selected multiple options for at least some of your items. When you went back to a choice field - unless you selected "can manually add items" - any values that did not match your list of choice values may have evaporated as a list of defined choices automatically excludes anything that doesn't match. If you did select "can manually add items", then it would have worked like virendrak showed with the combined values in a single field.
I'm not sure there's much you can do going forward to recover the data. In theory, you might be able to use the version history to restore a version of the list item from before you changed to multiple select. I would make sure to change the column either to pure text or "allow manual changes" just to make sure you don't recreate the same problem.
