Welcome @BarisTaylan, to the community!
I'm afraid that the transformer is probably not suitable for your application, as the windings have a saturation current of 3.93A. For your peak output current of 9A, this results in an output power of 9A * 12V = 108W, which, assuming an efficiency of 90%, equates to an input power of 120W. At 15V input voltage, this results in a DC current of 8A, with an assumed duty cycle of 1:2 in 16A, which would flow in the primary winding.
Since this 16A is just slightly above the saturation current, the magnetic field would collapse abruptly and your primary side would test the fuse of the supply line for proper function. However, since you probably have charged capacitors there, their stored energy would likely cause something to go up in smoke.
Regardless of the transformer, this is a design that can probably only be implemented with a classic PWM controller. STMicroelectronics is no longer active in such PWM controllers, but is happy to supply the necessary 250V MOSFETs and/or gate drivers.
Hope that helps?
Good luck!

A 24V lead-acid battery should not be discharged to lower than 21V or so. A LiFePO4 is close to empty at 24V.
So, your 15V lower limit is very low, and you might want to reconsider it, especially in light of what Peter wrote.
