The name Lev in Hebrew letters is לב. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
לב
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is לב. In Hebrew letters the name is spelled like the Tanakh word “the heart” (Genesis 8:21). This is a shared spelling, not the origin of the name. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 32 — the same as the Torah word לב, “heart”. That number points to Torah page 32 of 354 — in the portion Vayera. What that portion is about: Three visitors at Abraham's tent; the plea for Sodom; the birth of Isaac; the binding of Isaac on Mount Moriah. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Genesis 27:9. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Lev” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: לב. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name לב gives 32.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 32. A Torah word with the same number is לב — “heart” (Genesis 6:5).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 5. A Torah word with the same number is אד — “mist” (Genesis 2:6).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 14. A Torah word with the same number is יד — “hand” (Genesis 3:22).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 108. A Torah word with the same number is חק — “statute, allotted portion” (Genesis 47:22).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 904.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 62. A Torah word with the same number is בין — “between” (Genesis 1:4).
The letters that come out are כש — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 320. A Torah word with the same number is נער — “young man, boy” (Genesis 14:24).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 486. A Torah word with the same number is סכות — “Succoth” (Genesis 33:17).
The number 32 appears in the classical books 36 times across 24 works. The earliest mention is כל בו (~1300).

The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For לב these are ל and ב. The Pentateuch has 6 such verses. The first of them is Genesis 27:9:
לך נא אל הצאן וקח לי משם שני גדיי עזים טבים ואעשה אתם מטעמים לאביך כאשר אהב
This is from the portion Toldot. What it is about: The birth of Esau and Jacob; the birthright sold for lentil stew; Isaac's wells; Jacob receives the blessing.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
