Hi
Your age is less which might be a plus to correct your issue. As everyone said it might be congenital ( by birth ) or due a condition called Osteomalacia. But please don't loos your confidence and meet an Orthopaedic Surgeon for surgical correction or to get advised with proper prosthetics.
You do have a great aim and for that too , please be positive and confident.
All the very best for all your future endeavours.
Take care and stay safe .....
