Your activity level (on MFP) doesn't include your exercise, so it sounds like you are probably sedentary.1

Sedentary.
A week is 168 hours.
You workout a maximum of 5 hours each week.
That's 3% of your week.0 -
Set MFP to sedentary and log your exercise when you do it.
Less than 5000 steps a day is considered sedentary.0 -

This...but remember you set your activity level based on non exercise.

Per this article
1) <5000 steps.d (sedentary);
2) 5000-7499 steps.d (low active);
3) 7500-9999 steps.d (somewhat active);
4) > or =10,000-12,499 steps.d (active); and
5) > or =12,500 steps.d (highly active)
