Try this using this method.

convert your LocalDateTime to ZonedDateTime by using the of method and pass system default time zone or you can use ZoneId of your zone like ZoneId.of("Australia/Sydney");

LocalDateTime convertToUtc(LocalDateTime dateTime) {
  ZonedDateTime dateTimeInMyZone = ZonedDateTime.
                                        of(dateTime, ZoneId.systemDefault());

  return dateTimeInMyZone
                  .withZoneSameInstant(ZoneOffset.UTC)
                  .toLocalDateTime();
  
}

To convert back to your zone local date time use:

LocalDateTime convertFromUtc(LocalDateTime utcDateTime){
    return ZonedDateTime.
            of(utcDateTime, ZoneId.of("UTC"))
            .toOffsetDateTime()
            .atZoneSameInstant(ZoneId.systemDefault())
            .toLocalDateTime();
}
