We update the phenomenological parameters of the Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD, or unintegrated) gluon density in a proton proposed in our previous studies. This analysis is based on the analytical expression for starting gluon distribution which provides a self-consistent simultaneous description of HERA data on proton structure function $F_2(x,Q^2)$, reduced cross section for the electron-proton deep inelastic scattering at low $Q^2$ and soft hadron production in $pp$ collisions at the LHC conditions. We extend it to the whole kinematical region using the Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation. Exploiting our previous results on a number of semihard QCD processes, we performed a combined fit to an extended set of LHC and HERA data, comprising a total of $509$ points from $16$ data sets. We illustrate our fit by applying the derived TMD gluon density in a proton to inclusive prompt photon photoproduction at HERA.
