Hi Bisaka,
Any status(F1,F2, H1, H4, J1) who are Nepalese Citizen and has resided on or before June 24th can apply for TPS. Even if you are in the mid of change of status you could apply it. What I would recommend to you is maintain the current status that you have and apply for TPS with EAD. At the end of TPS if you have maintained your current status, you will be back to the same status. TPS is an added benefit- it does not harm your current status, instead it protects you if anything goes wrong in your status during the TPS period.
USCIS quoted lines-
"Thus, the grant of TPS does not automatically result in an individual relinquishing any other immigration status. However, the grant of TPS may not mean that a person's inadmissibility or deportability are waived or nullfied."
