Sedentary vs lightly active VS active

How do you tell the difference? I'm assuming it has to do with how many steps you take in a day. I take anywhere from 7-10 thousand steps on days I don't work, run 2 times a week (just a mile), lift 4 times a week, and waitress/host 3 times a week. On the days I work I normally get anywhere from 10-12 thousand steps a day. I do watch tv for maybe 2 hours everyday but I'm in college so I walk around quite a bit and walk to the gym too. I'm trying to my macros for bulking and I just don't know what active level I am.
