i agree with what lbj said / you cannot have an accurate assessment unless they are also testin gyour muscle mass.
when i was an athelete (working out 7 days a week many days for 3 hours at a stretch) i was literally solid hard packed muscle and had a 17 % body fat /weighed 118 was 5'2" on a medium frame
26 inch waist , yet if i wour t shirts and jeans i di dnot look in as good a shape as i was. folks alwasy freaked when they saw me in a swimsuit/ cause then they saw how i was rock hard (yet fmeinine) muscle.
you your self said you di dnot have much muscle/ so i think you answered a bi tof your own question/ also i am not sure waht kind of qualified testing they coudl do on you at walmart 8)
fact also: women in good shape will stillhave a bit more fat thant men in same physical condition/ ithink we have an extra thin layer of fat forinsulation under skin than they do?
also at rest or relaxing/ many muscles will still shake a bit
it is normal. like i fyouhad a skin tight tummy/ when youssit / youwould have a hard tiem standing lol. we need soem loose skin in areas just to move.

Ami B.
ps after being sednetary form injuries i willnever seek to be that
lvl of physical shape again/ i am aiming for a healthy overall body ratio/not ultra sculped bu tnot loose either. just good healthy over all tone.
