When I first came to this site I had advice to bulk which was last March. I was only 116 lb at the time (5'2 1/2 34B-27-37). So I slow bulked for three months and diet and everything was going really well until I stopped. Lol, kind of the issue for me is staying motivated and continuing. Anyways I gained 9 lbs and it has now become my maintenance.
This is the heaviest I've ever weighed. I'm not fat or anything and people still seem to consider me small. But I'm afraid of doing a slow bulk and putting on pounds to be 135.
Right now I'm just trying to eat a little under maintenance and continue to workout.

Women have an extra layer of fat, generally speaking you can subtract about 10% from their BF% to get an idea of what a comparable male might look like.
Have you put on weight since your avi, by chance, or do you still look like that?
Anyway, 20% for a woman would be pretty insane, like a guy around 10-12%. 25% for a woman is average, I believe.
