<p>The best way you can do is one of the below:</p>

<ul>
<li>Check your computer for the wallet file of the BTC address if it was a desktop wallet</li>
<li>Check your home for any paper/computer for the private key/seed of that BTC address if it was a desktop wallet</li>
<li>Check your browser history for any exchange login and try to login and check for that balance.</li>
</ul>

<p>With just the BTC address, you cannot find the info of the BTC wallet.</p>
