Let two digit number be $ab$, it's actual value is $10a + b$

$a + b = 12$ (sum of digits is $12$)

Number formed by reversing the digits is greater than the original number by $54$

$\Rightarrow 10b +a - (10a + b) = 54$

$\Rightarrow b -a = 6$

Solving $a+b=12$ and $b - a = 6$, We get $a = 3,b = 9$

Thus $39$ is the required number.
