Loop through php code (with a custom field)

Question

I use a wordpress plugin in which i can add custom data for each category Now because of some error it doesn't always grab the correct data. to fix that i wrote the following:

<?php if ( in_category( 3 ) ) : 
?>

<?php the_field( "categoryselect", "category_3" ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

Now that works, but is there a way to loop through all my categories with this?
(basicly i need the "3" and the number in "category_3" to loop through all my categories) i couldnt get it to work, so was going to hard code it, but thought i would ask for help before hardcoding it :P

Thnx in advance

Edit, with help from Ketan, i came to this solution that works for my problem

<?php 
$category = get_queried_object();
$testtest = $category->term_id;
if ( in_category( $testtest ) ) : 
?>

<?php the_field( "categoryselect", "category_".$testtest ); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

You can do something like this:

<?php
for($i = 0; $i < categories_count; $i++) {
    if ( in_category( $i ) ) :
        the_field( "categoryselect", "category_".$i );
    endif;
}
?>
