Update: Try out the following code on your Xcode-playground and play around with it to see how it works and try to implement the same logic in your code.

import UIKit
import PlaygroundSupport

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    var array = [String]()
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        let button = UIButton(type: .contactAdd)
        button.center = view.center
        button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(add), for: .touchUpInside)
        view.addSubview(button)
    }
    @objc func add() {
        array.append("New element \(array.count)")
        let controller = TableViewController()
        controller.array = array
        present(controller, animated: true)
    }
}
class TableViewController: UITableViewController {
    var array = [String]()
    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        array.count
    }
    override func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = UITableViewCell()
        cell.textLabel?.text = array[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
}

PlaygroundPage.current.setLiveView(ViewController())

Store the array outside the function scope and keep adding new elements to the same array instead of a new instance.

In InitialViewController with button action:

var addressArray = [String]()

@IBAction func confirmBtn(_ sender: Any) {
    let viewController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "Add_EditAddressViewController") as! Add_EditAddressViewController
    addressArray.append("\(sublocalityName ?? "") \(zipName ?? "") \(localityName ?? "")")
    viewController.addressArray = addressArray
    navigationController?.pushViewController(viewController, animated: true)
}

In Add_EditAddressViewController:

class Add_EditAddressViewController: UIViewController {
    var addressArray = [String]()
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        addressEDITTableview.reloadData()
    }
}

extension Add_EditAddressViewController: UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return addressArray.count
    }

    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell: EditAddressTableViewCell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "EditAddressTableViewCell") as! EditAddressTableViewCell
        cell.nameHeader.text = "header"
        cell.addressLabel.text = addressArray[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
}
