Cubitus valgus of right arm and bow legs
I am not sure whether I am suffering from cubitus Valgus or not , but the carrying angle of my right arm seems to be greater than the left arm . Moreover I have slight bow legs from birth. It has not caused any problem in my games and day to day life , but whenever I wear jeans , I feel low as it becomes prominent.

It may be due to low vitamin D during childhood. Once the bone growth is complete as in your case the deformity does not correct spontaneously. There is no need to feel low as it is a common condition.
Next Steps
If the deformity is too prominent, it can be corrected by surgery. No need for surgery if you can live with it.
