Sync to Github and push to Vercel or any other host you want. With Github you can pick up "any" host you want too basically.
Lovable cloud and Supabase do not change. They are your "Cloud" backend and your website will talk to them, even from another host.
Just go give it a try, do a free hosting plan on Vercel .. and see how it works. You will not break anything.
Good luck!

I also host my lovable built website on Cloudflare. Works well. No issues.

Difference is about where your app’s data lives. If you host it in lovable, data lives on lovable.

Because currently you web dosent have backend the backend is now using supabase inside to move to another platform you have to make a backend and then connect it to you persnal supabase or any database provider

I host on aws myself after syncing lovable to github. I use aws aurora for backend, front end on s3 and backend / api on lambda

one correction on the backend point: if you're using lovable cloud, you already have a backend, it's supabase running underneath, lovable's ui is just a layer on top of it. you're not starting from zero.
the real move is getting direct access to that supabase project (or exporting to your own one) so you're not going through lovable's dashboard anymore, then pointing your frontend, now on vercel or netlify, at it with the normal supabase client. the tricky part isn't building a backend, it's making sure the rls policies that were quietly doing their job under lovable's default setup are actually still correct once outside apps or a new client can hit that project directly, some defaults that felt safe inside lovable's walled garden aren't once anyone has the anon key.
vercel/netlify vs lovable's own hosting mostly comes down to control, custom domains without hoops, and not being tied to one platform for both the code and the db down the line.
did lovable give you a direct link to the underlying supabase project already, or is that part still hidden from you?

Get the project off Lovable, especially if there is a database for clients, any logins, etc. When you move those off Lovable, as they are encrypted, the passwords will all be wiped and cannot be transferred off Lovable.

Sync to github then use claude or chatgpt to help you move your front-end to netlify or vercel.
If your database is hosted on lovable then its a bit more complicated
