To answer your question…no, you are not fat.
You said you do not look overweight, and you’re an active person with muscle…you are definitely not fat.

If you feel uncomfortable, make sure to watch your diet and maintain your weight...but you're still growing so allow yourself to grow into a woman.

“Fat” is such a vague term anyway, like the word “beauty”…in the eye of the beholder.
Somebody could look fat to someone but not to someone else.
Some people look at themselves in the mirror and think they’re fat when nobody else does…
Some thin people, as thin as skeletons, might still think they’re fat because of mental disorder.
Some people with way too much fat reserve on their body are in denial (I’m just full figure and happy. I’m always smiling) and still think they look healthy.

But even if “fat” would mean “overweight” in your question…you are neither one, if you go with the BMI (Body Mass Index Chart).

You do not mention your height, which is a key factor in determining if someone is in the healthy range as far as weight goes…but 126lbs is pretty in the middle of a lot of different heights…you could be 5 feet tall or 5”9’ tall and be healthy weighing 126lbs.

Edit: at 5"3' you could weight 105 to 140lbs and be healthy or weigh more if it's muscle mass.

At 5 feet, you would be on the higher side of the healthy range and at 5”9’, you would be on the lower range of the healthy range.

But those ranges are just for lazy people who do not exercise, people who are out of shape and so when they get to the “overweight” range, their doctors can scare them into exercising, before they get to the “obese” and “extremely obese” ranges.

If you are active and you have some muscle mass that you actually can see and you look fine…then feel lucky to be among an extremely small percentage of the population who are in shape and doing great.

Do no worry about that 110 pounds girl who’s very thin. She’s out of shape, she’s always hungry or puking and she will become a fat adult anyway, even while not eating much just because her BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) adjusted to lower level because she denied herself the access to food while dieting.

Stay active and maintain your strong body.

Best wishes.
