Help with Measurements

When using Fat2Fit to calculate TDEE, how do you know if your measurements are correct? I followed the advice on the Military calculator, measured in the correct spots (smallest part of waist, etc.), but BF% seems high.
I am:
31 yr of female
124 lbs
5' 6"
Athletic build
It is giving me a BF% of 21.9%. Does this seem correct?
Thanks!

18% BF is lean for a woman so 21.9% doesn't sound ridiculous.0

fat2fit military body fat calculator gave me 16.7% and i swear i'm nowhere near 16.7%
judging by your pic, however, 21.9% looks close enough0 -
Ok. Thanks for the help!0
