More than likely you're stuck with that number, if the accounts you retweeted were suspended. This is a bug apparently, similarly to what i see in my account. You can't really unretweet tweets, when the account of the owner of tweet is gone.
Twitter have a few of these. Once i deleted all my tweets using a 3rd party service, the tweet counter still shows 289, when in fact i only have 3 tweets. The same happened to likes.

I'm looking for a solution but couldn't find it

I got that, but that's what i'm trying to tell you, that there's none more than likely.
When an account is suspended/closed, all the content is gone with it, so you are unable to unretweet those RTs. The RTs aren't there anymore physically, because the original tweets are gone. It's just that the RT counter isn't getting updated to reflect that. It's a stats bug.

I haven't been able to solve this for 10 years. The Retweets of the accounts you follow but suspended are they and they are never deleted ...
