Unable to blend text

How do I blend in text with the video in After Effects? So that it looks like it belongs to that clip. I have tried to Google but can't find it

That's what tracking is for, be that conventional 2D tracking or 3D camera tracking.

Okay. I have placed the text in the position that I wanted using tracking. Now I just want to change the look of the text to blend in well with rest of the environment. I tried adjusting shadows a bit but that didn't help much.

Not sure what you are asking. There's no pushbutton answer to "realism", even more so with AE's extremely limited rendering options. Start by actually matching the direction of the main lighting to your sun and add more lights to emulate diffuse bounce light then tweak the parameters until it looks believable.

Hey! Something weird happened. I was working with the lights, somehow my spot light is hidden. It still affects my text but I can't see it to move it around. I tried deleting and adding it back but it's just not in the view. I don't know what happened. I can even see the axes for the spotlight anymore. I even reset the  position of spotlight
