Look for the Google authenticator app on your mobile. If you can't find it you can restore your wallet from its wallet words/seed and choose not to use 2FA for your restored wallet. If you do that you will be able to send the BTC currently in your wallet without requiring the app on your mobile.

There are instructions for restoring your wallet from its wallet words/seed at this link.

This is a solution, but beware there are some security dangers when you run a wallet online without max security measures.  If you decide to go the SEED restore route, which is a great solution, you might want to create a wallet from that SEED on a cold computer and then setup a watching wallet on your online machine.  Once you get your 2FA abilities restored you can return the full wallet function to the online machine.  BTW - I never recommend using a fully functional wallet online without a hardware wallet hiding the private keys.  That is my feelings but I run conservatively all the way.
