As Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is 5 hours ahead of New York (NY), NY, USA. So you just need to add 5 hours to convert your NY time to UTC like below:
<?php
$ny_time = "12:30 am";
$utc_time = strtotime("+5 hours", strtotime($ny_time));
echo date('h:i a', $utc_time); // output 05:30 am
?>

Simply use gmdate() function of PHP instead like as
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');
echo $script_tz = date_default_timezone_get();
$ny_time = "12:30 am";
echo gmdate('h:i a',strtotime($ny_time));// 05:30 am
gmdate()is identical to thedate()function except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
