In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
You may make qadha (make up) for your missed fasts even now before Ramadan or after Ramadan. It is not necessary that you keep all twelve fasts at once. You may fast according to your convenience. However, the sooner you make up the missed fasts, the better.
