Video compression without quality loss using FFMPEG

Hello,

I wanted to compress Video with high quality using FFMPEG
The quality of video coming is not as per expectation. FFMPEG is conveting video of 11.3GB to 797 MB only.

Orignal Video is 11.3 GB Codec details of video is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VsPYrGTUHsV6Vb4uWxjWyEY80IwD1rPF/view?usp=sharing

I wanted to convert video in MP4 - Codec: H264 with high quality.

11.3 GB should be compressed to 4 GB. Expected media information can be seen at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RVeY6So_9YiSGyYvBTCtIbCcutrf4Eec/view?usp=sharing

and Medium size should be compressed to 1.25 GB. Expected media information can be seen at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1evaiFgPPj0ydag5md53q1Sxas3p1ZeJ4/view?usp=sharing

I ran below commands which produces me the output as follows:
