Not too much fat, just not enough muscle more than likely.
And yes, you can/should eat whatever you have been eating, plus a little more, and lift some weights.
Dont worry, you wont get big and bulky, but rather just adding a little muscle mass.I'm the guillotine waiting for the head that wears the crown
