You can’t be pregnant if you haven’t had sex yet. Sometimes women who do not experience a menstrual period for more than a year experience a condition called "hypogonadism". Additionally, you might be looking pregnant to your friends because it seems that you are overweight. You can consult an endocrinologist and gynecologist about diagnosing possible hypogonadism and helping reduce the weight.
