From my testing, it seems like you will lose your save file if you uninstall the game through the Itch app. This is because RPG Maker MV puts it's save files in the installation folder, whereas many other games have separate locations for their save files. One thing you could try just in case is to right click the game in the Itch app and select "Open folder in explorer". The current version of the game should be "CiC_0.54.3_Windows", if there's another version, you can go inside that folder, then inside the "www" folder in there, and see if there is a "save" folder. If there is, try copying that into the "www" folder of the new version of the game. Itch might delete all versions of the game when uninstalling though.
Assuming your save is gone, you can use the "Dungeon skip" portal in the center of town to skip to whichever dungeon you were on to recover some of your progress. It will also give you some silver you can use to repurchase some things you will have lost. You can also set your progress with some of the town NPC's when doing this so you don't have to view their scenes again. Most other things you'll have to redo.
